From: Isaku Yamahata <isaku.yamahata@intel.com>

Introduce the VM variable "nanoseconds per APIC bus cycle" in
preparation to make the APIC bus frequency configurable.

The TDX architecture hard-codes the core crystal clock frequency to
25MHz and mandates exposing it via CPUID leaf 0x15. The TDX architecture
does not allow the VMM to override the value.

In addition, per Intel SDM:
"The APIC timer frequency will be the processor’s bus clock or core
crystal clock frequency (when TSC/core crystal clock ratio is
enumerated in CPUID leaf 0x15) divided by the value specified in
the divide configuration register."

The resulting 25MHz APIC bus frequency conflicts with the KVM hardcoded
APIC bus frequency of 1GHz.

Introduce the VM variable "nanoseconds per APIC bus cycle" to prepare
for allowing userspace to tell KVM to use the frequency that TDX mandates
instead of the default 1Ghz. Doing so ensures that the guest doesn't have
a conflicting view of the APIC bus frequency.

Changes v5:
- Add Rick's Reviewed-by tag.

Changes v4:
- Reword changelog to address comments related to "bus clock" vs
"core crystal clock" frequency. (Xiaoyao)
- Typo in changelog ("APIC APIC" -> "APIC").
- Change logic "APIC bus cycles per nsec" -> "nanoseconds per
APIC bus cycle".

Changes V3:
- Update commit message.
- Dropped apic_bus_frequency according to Maxim Levitsky.

Changes v2:
- No change.
