Zachary Amsden 1182d8528b [PATCH] vmi: cpu cycles fix
In order to share the common code in tsc.c which does CPU Khz calibration, we
need to make an accurate value of CPU speed available to the tsc.c code.  This
value loses a lot of precision in a VM because of the timing differences with
real hardware, but we need it to be as precise as possible so the guest can
make accurate time calculations with the cycle counters.

/*
* When run under a hypervisor, a vcpu is always in one of three states:
* running, halted, or ready. The vcpu is in the 'running' state if it
* is executing. When the vcpu executes the halt interface, the vcpu
* enters the 'halted' state and remains halted until there is some work
* pending for the vcpu (e.g. an alarm expires, host I/O completes on
* behalf of virtual I/O). At this point, the vcpu enters the 'ready'
* state (waiting for the hypervisor to reschedule it). Finally, at any
* time when the vcpu is not in the 'running' state nor the 'halted'
* state, it is in the 'ready' state.
*
* Real time is advances while the vcpu is 'running', 'ready', or
* 'halted'. Stolen time is the time in which the vcpu is in the
* 'ready' state. Available time is the remaining time -- the vcpu is
* either 'running' or 'halted'.
*
* All three views of time are accessible through the VMI cycle
* counters.
