Doh, yeah, the changelog is wrong. KVM always emulates TSC_DEADLINE_TIMER. Thanks!

Advertise TSC_DEADLINE_TIMER via KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID when it's supported in hardware, as the odds of a VMM emulating the local APIC in userspace, not emulating the TSC deadline timer, _and_ reflecting KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID back into KVM_SET_CPUID2 are extremely low. KVM has _unconditionally_ advertised X2APIC via CPUID since commit 0d1de2d901f4 ("KVM: Always report x2apic as supported feature"), and it is completely impossible for userspace to emulate X2APIC as KVM doesn't support forwarding the MSR accesses to userspace. I.e. KVM has relied on userspace VMMs to not misreport local APIC capabilities for nearly 13 years.
