There's no need for these to be global, it's easy enough to pass them as params
to apic_guest_code(). Making is_x2apic is wortwhile as it cuts down on the noise,
but for these, I think it's better to keep them local.

These can/should all be const.

1% is likely too aggressive, i.e. we'll get false failures due to host activity.
On our systems, even a single pr_warn() in the timer path causes failure. For
now, I think 5% is good enough, e.g. it'll catch cases where KVM is waaay off.
If we want to do better (or that's still too tight), then we can add a '-t <tolerance'
param or something.

Combine these into a single assert, and print the params, i.e. don't rely on the
line number to figure out what's up.
__GUEST_ASSERT(freq < apic_hz * 105 / 100 && freq > apic_hz * 95 / 100,
"Frequency = %lu (wanted %lu - %lu), bus = %lu, div = %u, tsc = %lu",
freq, apic_hz * 95 / 100, apic_hz * 105 / 100,
apic_hz, tdcrs[i].divide_count, tsc_hz);

Heh, selftests are anything but consistent, but this should be exit(KSFT_SKIP)
for both.
