Add a hypercall to retrieve the host realtime clock
and the TSC value used to calculate that clock read.

Used to implement clock synchronization between
host and guest.

+6. KVM_HC_CLOCK_OFFSET
+------------------------
+Architecture: x86
+Status: active
+Purpose: Hypercall used to synchronize host and guest clocks.
+Usage:
+
+a0: guest physical address where host copies
+"struct kvm_clock_offset" structure.
+
+a1: clock_type, ATM only KVM_CLOCK_OFFSET_WALLCLOCK (0)
+is supported (hosts CLOCK_REALTIME clock).
+
+ struct kvm_clock_offset {
+ __s64 sec;
+ __s64 nsec;
+ __u64 tsc;
+ __u32 flags;
+ __u32 pad;
+ };
+
+ Where:
+ * sec: seconds from clock_type clock.
+ * nsec: nanoseconds from clock_type clock.
+ * tsc: TSC value used to calculate sec/nsec pair
+ (this hypercall only works when host uses TSC clocksource).
+ * flags: flags, unused at the moment.
+
