The good news is that TscMultiplies seems to work fine for me, at least
with an Azure Dv5 instance where I can see Tsc scaling exposed. The bad
news is that a few more patches are needed:
1) Fix 'struct hv_enlightened_vmcs' definition:
https://lore.kernel.org/kvm/20220613133922.2875594-20-vkuznets@redhat.com/
2) Define VMCS-to-EVMCS conversion for the new fields :

so it is becoming more and more complicated to assemble for testing. Let
me finish my testing and I'll put a series together and send it out to
simplify the process. Stay tuned!
