I feel some confused about your point 'disable cpuid feature for older machine types by default': are you planning a common approach for this common issue, or, you just ask me a specific solution for the tsc deadline timer case? I think a generic solution for this can be as simple as passing a feature exclusion mask to cpu_init. You could simple append a string of "-feature1,-feature2" to the cpu model that is specified on creation. And that string could be defined in the compat machine descriptions. Does this make sense?
