Shifting pvclock_vcpu_time_info.system_time on write to KVM system time
MSR is a change of ABI. Probably only 2.6.16 based SLES 10 breaks due
to its custom enhancements to kvmclock, but KVM never declared the MSR
only for one-shot initialization. (Doc says that only one write is
needed.)
This reverts commit b7e60c5aedd2b63f16ef06fde4f81ca032211bc5.
And adds a note to the definition of PVCLOCK_COUNTS_FROM_ZERO.
