Why would you run DVFS in a VM?  When the VCPUs in a VM are idle they
consume zero resources.  The host would be doing the DVFS for thermal
regulation and such.

The only thing I can see being relevant is having some mechanism of
informing the host of characteristics of the guest so the host can be
more educated when enforcing power policy, but that requires a
theoretical discussion and rationale first.
