[PATCH RFC 0/3] Implement guest time scaling in RISC-V KVM

[Yifei Jiang]

This series implements guest time scaling based on RDTIME instruction
emulation so that we can allow migrating Guest/VM across Hosts with
different time frequency.

Why not through para-virt. From arm's experience[1], para-virt implementation
doesn't really solve the problem for the following two main reasons:
- RDTIME not only be used in linux, but also in firmware and userspace.
- It is difficult to be compatible with nested virtualization.

  RISC-V: KVM: Change the method of calculating cycles to nanoseconds
  RISC-V: KVM: Support dynamic time frequency from userspace
  RISC-V: KVM: Implement guest time scaling
