Sorry, I had missed the list of failures.

Correct, I thought unittests.cfg already did that.

Looks like QEMU doesn't know the tsc_adjust flag at all.  CCing Eduardo.

It passes here, and fails with "-cpu host":

PASS: CPUID consistency
FAIL: Test on PCID when enabled
PASS: Test on INVPCID when disabled

Looks like the "Test on PCID when enabled" has problems, and the
-cpu flag is a red herring.

The APICBASE register is already tested by the apic testcase, and the
simple-minded tests in msr.flat actually trigger a general protection
fault nowadays because the quality of the emulation improved.  I'm
dropping the APICBASE tests from msr.flat.

It fails here for me.  It could be related to APICv, can you try with
the enable_apic=0 parameter to kvm-intel.ko?
