The RDTSC VM-exit test requires the 'use TSC offsetting' processor-based
VM-execution control be allowed on the host. Check this precondition
before running the test rather than asserting it later on to avoid
erroneous failures on a host without TSC offsetting.

Can we use test_skip() instead, something like
