[SeaBIOS] [PATCH] tsc: use kvmclock for calibration

[Gerd Hoffmann]

Use kvmclock for tsc calibration when running on kvm.  Without this the
tsc frequency calibrated by seabios can be *way* off in case the virtual
machine is booted on a loaded host.  I've seen seabios calibrating 27
instead of ca. 2800 MHz, resulting in timeouts being to short by factor
100.  Which in turn leads to disk I/O errors due to timeouts, especially
as I/O requests tend to take a bit longer than usual on a loaded box ...
