+4.54 KVM_SET_TSC_KHZ
+
+Capability: KVM_CAP_TSC_CONTROL
+Architectures: x86
+Type: vm ioctl
+Parameters: __u32 (in)
+Returns: 0 on success, -1 on error
+
+Specifies the tsc frequency for the virtual machine. This IOCTL must be
+used before any vcpu is created. The unit of the frequency is KHz.

+Returns: 0 on success, -1 on error
+
+Returns the tsc frequency of the guest. The unit of the return value is
