[ Upstream commit 4ad1aa571214e8d6468a1806794d987b374b5a08 ]
Add a data structure to represent the reference TSC MSR similar to other MSRs. This simplifies the code for updating the MSR.

Sasha -- I don't think this patch needs to be backported to any stable versions. Anirudh or Wei Liu, can you confirm? The patch is more about enabling a new scenario than fixing a bug.
Ack, I'll drop both of the patches you've pointed out. Thanks!
Sorry for the late reply -- I think you should keep this patch and the other one. The other patch fixes a real issue while kexec'ing in the Linux root partition. This patch is a prerequisite for that.
Thanks, Wei.
