QEMU doesn't know the flag name yet (although we have migration support for the
MSR since 2012).

Note that with the new "migratable=yes" default on QEMU 2.1, an unknown feature
won't be enabled even when using "-cpu host", and will require "-cpu
host,migratable=no".

I see a bug on the unit test code: it is calling cpuid(7) without checking if
(cpuid(0).a >= 7) first, so it is checking meaningless CPUID bits when
cpuid_level < 7.  This causes the following problem:

  [kvm-unit-tests/master=]$ ./x86-run x86/tsc_adjust.flat -smp 2 -cpu qemu64,level=7
  qemu-kvm -enable-kvm -device pc-testdev -device isa-debug-exit,iobase=0xf4,iosize=0x4 -display none -serial stdio -device pci-testdev -kernel x86/tsc_adjust.flat -smp 2 -cpu qemu64,level=7
  enabling apic
  enabling apic
  success: IA32_TSC_ADJUST feature not enabled
  Return value from qemu: 1
  [kvm-unit-tests/master=]$ ./x86-run x86/tsc_adjust.flat -smp 2 -cpu qemu64,level=4
  qemu-kvm -enable-kvm -device pc-testdev -device isa-debug-exit,iobase=0xf4,iosize=0x4 -display none -serial stdio -device pci-testdev -kernel x86/tsc_adjust.flat -smp 2 -cpu qemu64,level=4
  enabling apic
  enabling apic
  failure: IA32_TSC_ADJUST msr read / write incorrect
  failure: TSC did not adjust for IA32_TSC_ADJUST value
  failure: IA32_TSC_ADJUST msr incorrectly adjusted on tsc write
  Return value from qemu: 3
