    ms/KVM: x86: Add support for VMware backdoor Pseudo-PMCs
    
    VMware exposes the following Pseudo PMCs:
    0x10000: Physical host TSC
    0x10001: Elapsed real time in ns
    0x10002: Elapsed apparent time in ns
    
    For more info refer to:
    https://www.vmware.com/files/pdf/techpaper/Timekeeping-In-VirtualMachines.pdf
    
    VMware allows access to these Pseduo-PMCs even when read via RDPMC
    in Ring3 and CR4.PCE=0. Therefore, commit modifies x86 emulator
    to allow access to these PMCs in this situation. In addition,
    emulation of these PMCs were added to kvm_pmu_rdpmc().
