SubjectRe: [PATCH v2] KVM: x86: Prevent exposing TSC deadline timer feature in the absence of in-kernel APIC

We must not report the TSC deadline timer feature on our own, period.
We should just update the timer mode mask there. Don't know how this
slipped through review.

I think your original idea was correct. Add a new KVM_CAP for the tsc
deadline timer. Userspace can add the bit to cpuid if either it
implements the feature in a userspace apic, or if it finds the new
capability and uses the kernel apic.
