This API adds a vcpu to a virtual machine. The vcpu id is a small integer

KVM_CHECK_EXTENSION ioctl() to determine the value for max_vcpus at run-time.
If the KVM_CAP_NR_VCPUS does not exist, you should assume that max_vcpus is 4

Specifies the tsc frequency for the virtual machine. The unit of the

Returns the tsc frequency of the guest. The unit of the return value is
KHz. If the host has unstable tsc this ioctl returns -EIO instead as an
error.
