Subject: [PATCH v3 6/8] Try using new kvm clock msrs

We now added a new set of clock-related msrs in replacement of the old
ones. In theory, we could just try to use them and get a return value
indicating they do not exist, due to our use of kvm_write_msr_save.

However, kvm clock registration happens very early, and if we ever
try to write to a non-existant MSR, we raise a lethal #GP, since our
idt handlers are not in place yet.

So this patch tests for a cpuid feature exported by the host to
decide which set of msrs are supported.
