The problem seems to be that, under nested virtualization without
kvm-clock enabled, TSC calibration in the L2 guest fails completely.
I have no idea whether this is a bug in Linux, KVM, or QEMU.

The rest of the problem seems to be that the apic code falls over
completely on systems that advertise a TSC deadline timer if TSC
calibration fails.  I sent a patch to fix this.  With that patch
applied, L2 can boot, but it still has an unusable TSC.
