1103The TSC deadline timer feature (CPUID leaf 1, ecx[24]) is always returned
1104as false, since the feature depends on KVM_CREATE_IRQCHIP for local APIC
1105support. Instead it is reported via

1107 ioctl(KVM_CHECK_EXTENSION, KVM_CAP_TSC_DEADLINE_TIMER)

1109if that returns true and you use KVM_CREATE_IRQCHIP, or if you emulate the
1110feature in userspace, then you can enable the feature for KVM_SET_CPUID2.
