This is now pretty clean, so my objections are more or less gone.  I
haven't put much thought into this, but are all fields of struct
timekeeping necessary?  Some of them are redundant with the existing
wallclock MSRs.  The handling of versioning probably varies depending on
the exact set of fields, too.
