Future AMD CPUs support TSC scaling. It allows guests to have a
different TSC frequency from host system using this formula: guest_tsc
= host_tsc * tsc_ratio + vmcb_offset. The tsc_ratio is a 64bit MSR
contains a fixed-point number in 8.32 format (8 bits for integer part
and 32bits for fractional part). For instance 0x00000003_80000000
means tsc_ratio=3.5.

This patch enables TSC scaling ratio for SVM. With it, guest VMs don't
need take #VMEXIT to calculate a translated TSC value when it is
running under TSC emulation mode. This can substancially reduce the
rdtsc overhead.
