Title:
[Hyper-V] Read TSC frequency from a synthetic MSR
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Status in linux-azure package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
It was found that SMI_TRESHOLD of 50000 is not enough for Hyper-V
guests in nested environment and falling back to counting jiffies
is not an option for Gen2 guests as they don't have PIT. As Hyper-V
provides TSC frequency in a synthetic MSR we can just use this information
instead of doing a error prone calibration.
