Alok Kataria 6399c08745 x86: Print the hypervisor returned tsc_khz during boot
On an AMD-64 system the processor frequency that is printed during
system boot, may be different than the tsc frequency that was
returned by the hypervisor, due to the value returned from
calibrate_cpu.

For debugging timekeeping or other related issues it might be
better to get the tsc_khz value returned by the hypervisor.

The patch below now prints the tsc frequency that the VMware
hypervisor returned.

* VMware hypervisor takes care of exporting a reliable TSC to the guest.

* TSCs do not drift from each other). Also, the ACPI PM timer clocksource
* is not suitable as a watchdog when running on a hypervisor because the
* kernel may miss a wrap of the counter if the vcpu is descheduled for a
* long time. To skip these checks at runtime we set these capability bits,
* so that the kernel could just trust the hypervisor with providing a
