While debugging some problems on the HaikuPorts build VMs, mmlr
noticed their clocks had an alarming amount of drift. This prompted
an investigation into TSC calibration mechanisms, and the discovery
that there is a VM-specific one which we did not implement.
This mechanism is more accurate than counting cycles on VMs where
cycles can be "stolen" (the probable cause of the aforementioned
clock drift.)
Tested in VMware (works out of the box) and on QEMU/KVM
(may need TSC frequency specified or a host with invariant TSC.)
