When the TSC mode of a HVM container is TSC_MODE_DEFAULT or
TSC_MODE_PVRDTSCP and no TSC emulation is used, the existing
tsc_get_info() uses the host TSC frequency (cpu_khz) as the guest TSC
frequency. However, tsc_set_info() may set the guest TSC frequency to a
value different than the host. In order to keep consistent to
tsc_set_info(), this patch makes tsc_get_info() use the value set by
tsc_set_info() as the guest TSC frequency.

(assuming my comment to the previous patch is correct).

enable_tsc_scaling in tsc_get_info() is always used in the condition
!d->arch.vtsc, so it's not necessary to include it again in
enable_tsc_scaling.

IIUIC tsc_scale is host property and so why would it be used if TSC scaling
is available to guests?

scale is used below to convert a host TSC to nanosec. When TSC scaling is used,
d->arch.vtsc_to_ns may not base on the host TSC frequency, so I turn to the host
tsc_scale instead.

OK. Can we then use tsc_scale for both with and without TSC scaling? (on the set side too).

(And as a side note, I think that the comment in include/asm-x86/domain.h describing vtsc_to_ns as being used for emulated cases is rather misleading. We use it for both emulated and native)
