You're using hypervisor_steal_time to communicate the existence of the 
feature.  Yuck.

Named constant.

No need for wrmsr_safe() since you're checking the cpuid bit.  The other 
APIs are nicer (no need to break into two words).

This will trap if running on a hypervisor without this MSR.

Check version & 1 instead of src->version & 1, slightly cheaper.

Make conditional.  Needed for the previous wrmsr as well.

Ditto.  Is it me, or is the code duplicated?
