NO_HZ should be OK, but last we spoke, "notsc" in the host caused
lguest_data.tsc_khz to be zero => divide by zero errors (the previous
fixes should sort out the other TSC issues).

Anyway, if the host decides not to use the TSC, the guest shouldn't use
it, which is the basis of this patch...

Hope that clarifies,
Rusty.
