This results in sched clock always unstable for kvm guest since there
is no invariant tsc cpuid bit exposed for kvm guest currently. The
blockage happened for several reasons:

1) Migration: to host with different TSC frequency.
2) Savevm: It is not safe to use the TSC for wall clock timer services.

How about something like below(untested):
