In one of my rcutorture tests the TSC clocksource got marked unstable due to a large difference in the TSC value. I'm not sure if the guest run for a long time with disabled interrupts or if the host was very busy and didn't schedule the guest for some time. I took a look on the qemu/KVM options and decided to update the options: - Use kvm{32|64} as CPU. We could probably use `host' (like ARM does) for maximum available features but since we don't run any userland I'm not sure if it makes any difference.
- Drop the "noapic" option, enable TSC deadline timer. There is no history why the APIC was disabled, I see no reason for it. The deadline timer is probably "nicer".
- Additional config options. It ensures that the kernel knowns that it runs as a kvm guest and can use virt devices like the kvm-clock as clocksource. The kvm-clock was the main motivation here.
- I didn't add a random HW device. It would make the random device ready earlier (not it doesn't complete the initialisation at all) but I doubt that there is any need for this.
