KVM doesn't fully support Hyper-V reenlightenment notifications on
migration. In particular, it doesn't support emulating TSC frequency
of the source host by trapping all TSC accesses so unless TSC scaling
is supported on the destination host and KVM_SET_TSC_KHZ succeeds, it
is unsafe to proceed with migration.
KVM_SET_TSC_KHZ is called from two sites: kvm_arch_init_vcpu() and
kvm_arch_put_registers(). The later (intentionally) doesn't propagate
errors allowing migrations to succeed even when TSC scaling is not
supported on the destination. This doesn't suit 're-enlightenment'
use-case as we have to guarantee that TSC frequency stays constant.
Require 'tsc-frequency=' command line option to be specified for successful
migration when re-enlightenment was enabled by the guest.
