We still end up writing the TSC_MULTIPLIER in the vmcs02 on each nested VM entry
almost always for nothing since for the vast majority of the entries we will
write the same value.
It is probably OK for now to leave it like that, and then add some sort of 'dirty' tracking
to track if the userspace or L1 changed the TSC multiplier for L2 (L1 writes to vmcb12
are tracked by using the 'dirty_vmcs' flag, assuming that we don't shadow TSC_MULTIPLIER field)
So the above should later go to prepare_vmcs02_rare, and it should also be done if
host TSC multiplier changed (not a problem IMHO to have another piece of code doing that).

This I think isn't needed, since this write is done after we have already
switched to vmcs01, and it should have the L1 value it had prior
to the nested entry.

Nitpick about the comment:
On SVM, the TSC multiplier is a MSR, so a crazy L1 can give L2 access to it,
so L2 can in theory change its TSC multiplier as well
(I am not sure if this is even allowed by the SVM spec)
