As result TSC clocksource becomes unsuitable for using as wallclock and it brakes pvclock when it's running with PVCLOCK_TSC_STABLE_BIT flag set. That causes backwards clock jumps when pvclock is first read on CPU with drifted TSC and then on CPU where TSC was stable or had a lower drift rate. To fix issue mark TSC as unstable on affected CPU, so it won't be used as clocksource. Which in turn disables master_clock mechanism in KVM and force pvclock using global clock counter that can't go backwards.
