whpx: i386: enable synthetic processor features
At the point in time in which we setup the partition, the vCPUs aren't available yet. So enable them by default for now like what the MSHV backend does. AccessFrequencyRegs is shared for both the LAPIC frequency reporting and the TSC frequency. To still benefit from the fixed TSC frequency reporting when kernel-irqchip=off, still enable AccessFrequencyRegs anyway.
