This quirk reflects the fact that we currently treat MSR_IA32_TSC
and MSR_TSC_ADJUST access by the host (e.g qemu) in a way that is different
compared to an access from the guest.
For host's MSR_IA32_TSC read we currently always return L1 TSC value, and for
host's write we do the tsc synchronization.
For host's MSR_TSC_ADJUST write, we don't make the tsc 'jump' as we should
for this msr.
When the hypervisor uses the new TSC GET/SET state ioctls, all of this is no
longer needed, thus leave this enabled only with a quirk
which the hypervisor can disable.
