Add suport for invariant TSC flag (CPUID 0x80000007, bit 8 of EDX).
If this flag is enabled, the TSC ticks at a constant rate across
all ACPI P-, C- and T-states.
This can be enabled by adding:
<feature name='invtsc'/>
to the <cpu> element.
Migration and saving the domain does not work with this flag.
QEMU support for this is not merged yet:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2014-04/msg05024.html
The feature name "invtsc" differs from the name "" used by the linux
kernel:

v2:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2014-May/msg00297.html
add it as a cpu flag instead of a timer
v3:
check if the feature wasn't filtered out on domain startup
