This patch introduces an implementation of the STIMER0-15_CONFIG/COUNT MSRs
and hence a the first SynIC message source.
The new (and documented) 'stimer' viridian enlightenment group may be
specified to enable this feature.
While in the neighbourhood, this patch adds a missing check for an
attempt to write the time reference count MSR, which should result in an
exception (but not be reported as an unimplemented MSR).
NOTE: It is necessary for correct operation that timer expiration and
message delivery time-stamping use the same time source as the guest.
The specification is ambiguous but testing with a Windows 10 1803
guest has shown that using the partition reference counter as a
source whilst the guest is using RDTSC and the reference tsc page
does not work correctly. Therefore the time_now() function is used.
This implements the algorithm for acquiring partition reference time
that is documented in the specifiction.
