Changes since v1:
- add vmstate_msr_hyperv_reenlightenment subsection to vmstate_x86_cpu
  [Paolo Bonzini]
- rebase.

Previously, Ladi was working on enabling TSC page clocksource for nested
Hyper-V-on-KVM workloads. He found out that if Hyper-V frequency MSRs are
exposed to L1 as well as INVTSC flag Hyper-V enables TSC page clocksource
to its guests. Qemu doesn't pass INVTSC by default as it is a migration
blocker.

I found out there's a different way to make Hyper-V like us: expose
Reenlightenment MSRs to it. KVM doesn't fully support the feature as
we're still unable to migrate nested environments but rudimentary support
we have there (kvm/queue only currently) is enough.

Enable Hyper-V reenlightenment MSRs and expose frequency MSRs even without
INVTSC to make things work.
