Unnecessary change that violates preferred coding style. Checkpatch explicitly
complains about this.

I'm pretty sure this can be page_to_phys().

I think we can defer this until we're actually planning on running the guest,
i.e. put this in svm_prepare_guest_switch().

Unless I'm missing something with how SVM loads guest state, you can avoid
adding host_save_area by saving the PA of the save area on the stack prior to
the vmload of guest state.

Same bogus change and checkpatch warning.

Tying in with avoiding svm->host_save_area, what about passing in the PA of the
save area and doing the vmload in __svm_vcpu_run()? One less instance of inline
assembly to stare at...

With this being whittled down to TSC_AUX, a good follow-on series would be to
add SVM usage of the "user return" MSRs to handle TSC_AUX. If no one objects,
I'll plan on doing that in the not-too-distant future as a ramp task of sorts.
