After commit (fc141535ad8 : "x86 tsc_msr: Extend to include Intel Core 
Architecture"), rdmsr MSR_PLATFORM_INFO is used to get maximum non-turbo 
ratio for recent Intel Core Architecture which results in kvm guest rdmsr 
unsafe warning.

As Radim pointed out before:

| MSR_PLATFORM_INFO: Intel changes it from family to family and there is
| no obvious overlap or default.  If we picked 0 (any other fixed value),
| then the guest would have to know that 0 doesn't mean that
| MSR_PLATFORM_INFO returned 0, but that KVM doesn't emulate this MSR and
| the value cannot be used.  This is very similar to handling a #GP in the
| guest, but also has a disadvantage, because KVM cannot say that
| MSR_PLATFORM_INFO is 0.  Simple emulation is not possible.

This patch fix it by using rdmsr_safe to read MSR_PLATFORM_INFO in kvm 
guest in order that #GP can be fixed up, then tsc will be calibrated by 
PIT, HPET etc.

This looks good, thanks.

It is reported by lkp. https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/6/20/110 The patch
is against x86 branch on Len Brown's tree. And try to fix this commit:

I prefer this patch can be applied separately instead of fold into the
bad commit since it shows the issue when access MSR_PLATFORM_INFO in
kvm guest and other guys who want to access MSR_PLATFORM_INFO later
can find the changelog and make better decisions.

It is in Len's tree, we are planing to resend the patchset with Wanpeng's fix
merged with a credit to him in commit msg, thanks for Wanpeng's effort.
thanks all.

Thomas, does it make sense to keep separate?

I just saw commit (fc273eeef314c : "x86 tsc_msr: Extend to include
Intel Core Architecture") was merged in tip tree, then this patch is
needed to fix that commit. The bug is reported by LKP several weeks
ago, and kvm maintainer Paolo has already replied "This looks good" to
this patch.
