This fixes a bug in which HVM VCPUs running on AMD have their TSC
offset clobbered (to zero) when they switch to real mode.  The
consequences of this are nearly unnoticeable in most cases, but the
AMD folks (Tom Woller & Travis Betak) agree this is a (minor) bug and
have been waiting forever for me to port and post this so they can
strike it off their TODO lists.
