Not quite the logic I'm using for kvmclock:
cpu_update_state()
if running
tsc_valid = false;
kvm_get_msrs()
...
if (!tsc_valid)
read_tsc
tsc_valid = !vm_running;
That ensure we always read the tsc while the VM is running, and not only
after it was stopped (might otherwise be "surprising" when once
visualizing the MSRs).
