This I can agree with. The softtsc boot option is just lazy. This should
properly be a per-VM option, for both HVM and PV guests. For example
tsc_freq=x sets virtual TSC of x MHz. And not specifying tsc_freq gets you
current behaviour (pass through host TSC where possible). That I could quite
happily live with, although I'm not planning to implement it myself.
