static, and maybe a uint64_t to match the other stuff?

uin64_t for apic_cycles?  And maybe something like guest_check_apic_count(), to
make it more obvious what is being verified?  Actually, it should be quite easy
to have the two flavors share the bulk of the code.

Is this necessary?  Won't the "freq < ..." check fail?  I love me some paranoia,
but this seems unnecessary.

Nit, the goal isn't to avoid triggering the interrupt, e.g. the above masking
takes care of that.  The goal is to prevent the timer from expiring, because if
the timer expires it stops counting and will trigger a false failure because the
TSC doesn't stop counting.

Honestly, I would just delete the comment.  Same with the "busy wait for 100 msec"
and "Read APIC timer and TSC" comments.  They state the obvious.  Loading the max
TMICT is mildly interesting, but that's covered by the file-level comment.

> +		tmict = ~0;

This really belongs outside of the loop, e.g.

	const uint32_t tmict = ~0u;

Hmm, should this be configurable?

This comment is a bit more interesting, as readers might not know writing '0'
stops the timer.  But that's even more interesting is the ordering, e.g. it's
not at all unreasonable to think that the timer should be stopped _before_ reading
the current count.  E.g. something like:

		/*
		 * Stop the timer _after_ reading the current, final count, as
		 * writing the initial counter also modifies the current count.
		 */

That's some nice copy+paste :-)

This test isn't writing ICR, so the whole 32-bit vs. 64-bit weirdness with xAPIC
vs X2APIC is irrevelant.  Two tiny helpers, a global flag, and you can avoid a
pile of copy+paste, and the need to find a better name than guest_verify().

static bool is_x2apic;

static uint32_t apic_read_reg(unsigned int reg)
{
	return is_x2apic ? x2apic_read_reg(reg) : xapic_read_reg(reg);
}

static void apic_read_write(unsigned int reg, uint32_t val)
{
	if (is_x2apic)
		x2apic_write_reg(reg, val);
	else
		xapic_write_reg(reg, val);
	return is_x2apic ? x2apic_read_reg(reg) : xapic_read_reg(reg);
}

Maybe -f for frequency instead of -a for APIC?  And if we make the delay
configurable, -d (delay)?
