Implement hypercall for rdtsc. This provides a better
performing alternative for guests for which rdtsc emulation
is enabled (which may soon be the default). Three forms:
1) Read the raw physical cpu TSC
2) Read monotonically-increasing Xen system time (nsec since
guest boot)
3) Determine if rdtsc emulation is enabled for this guest
Form 3 can be used (once) to determine if rdtsc emulation
is enabled. If it is not, the normal pvclock algorithm
can be used as if it can be done in a vsyscall (in user
space) it is, by far, the fastest. If it is, form 1 can
be used to avoid the trap from rdtsc; or form 2 can be
used directly as it should return the same result as
applying the pvclock algorithm to the value returned by
Form 1 EXCEPT form 2 enforces monotonicity.
