Check for KVM_CAP_ADJUST_CLOCK capability KVM_CLOCK_TSC_STABLE, which
indicates that KVM_GET_CLOCK returns a value as seen by the guest at
that moment.

For new machine types, use this value rather than reading
from guest memory.

This reduces kvmclock difference on migration from 5s to 0.1s
(when max_downtime == 5s).

Note: pre_save contradicts the following comment
        /*
         * If the VM is stopped, declare the clock state valid to
         * avoid re-reading it on next vmsave (which would return
         * a different value). Will be reset when the VM is continued.
         */
But the comment is bogus: vm_state_change is never called twice in a row
with running=0 or running=1.

- simplify check for src_use_reliable_get_clock (Eduardo)

v4: 
- have kvm_get_clock and clock_is_reliable assignments synchronized (Eduardo)
- add comment to the reasoning of kvmclock_pre_save (Eduardo)

Is it required to call  'kvm_has_adjust_clock_stable' here. Is there any chance
of getting different value then in 'realize'?

Yes it can happen: migration overwrites s->clock_is_reliable value (but
you can't see that from grepping).

This seems unnecessary, as kvmclock_vm_state_change() makes sure
it is set at the same time as s->clock. Should we just remove it?

There is this initialization that goes from ~running -> running
which assumes its initialized:

static void kvmclock_vm_state_change(void *opaque, int running,
                                     RunState state)
{
    KVMClockState *s = opaque;
    CPUState *cpu;
    int cap_clock_ctrl = kvm_check_extension(kvm_state,
KVM_CAP_KVMCLOCK_CTRL);
    int ret;

    if (running) {
        struct kvm_clock_data data = {};
        uint64_t pvclock_via_mem = 0;

        /*
         * If the host where s->clock was read did not support reliable
         * KVM_GET_CLOCK, read kvmclock value from memory.
         */
        if (!s->clock_is_reliable) {
            pvclock_via_mem = kvmclock_current_nsec(s);
        }

Right: I forgot about the very first time
kvmclock_vm_state_change() is called.

It doesn't seem to make any difference (as both s->clock
kvmclock_current_nsec() will return 0 anyway), but at least it
makes clock_is_reliable consistent with its documented purpose.

I would simplify it to a single line:
    s->clock_is_reliable = kvm_has_adjust_clock_stable();

But it is not a big deal, so:
