Introduce the VM variable "nanoseconds per APIC bus cycle" in
preparation to make the APIC bus frequency configurable.
The TDX architecture hard-codes the core crystal clock frequency to
25MHz and mandates exposing it via CPUID leaf 0x15. The TDX architecture
does not allow the VMM to override the value.
In addition, per Intel SDM:
"The APIC timer frequency will be the processor’s bus clock or core
crystal clock frequency (when TSC/core crystal clock ratio is
enumerated in CPUID leaf 0x15) divided by the value specified in
the divide configuration register."
The resulting 25MHz APIC bus frequency conflicts with the KVM hardcoded
APIC bus frequency of 1GHz.
Introduce the VM variable "nanoseconds per APIC bus cycle" to prepare
for allowing userspace to tell KVM to use the frequency that TDX mandates
instead of the default 1Ghz. Doing so ensures that the guest doesn't have
a conflicting view of the APIC bus frequency.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
