Subject: [RFC PATCH 1/2] kvm/vmx: Print TSC_OFFSET information when TSC
 offset value is written to VMCS

Print TSC_OFFSET information when TSC offset value is written to VMCS for
measuring actual TSC of a guest.

TSC value on a guest is always the host TSC plus the guest's "TSC offset".
TSC offset is stored in the VMCS in vmx_write_tsc_offset() or
vmx_adjust_tsc_offset(). KVM executes the former function when a guest boots.
The latter function is executed when kvm clock is updated. On the other hand,
the host can read the TSC offset values from VMCS. So, if the host outputs the
TSC offset values, we can calculate an actual TSC value for each TSC timestamp
recorded trace data of the guest.
