Invariant TSC documentation mentions that "invariant TSC will run at a constant rate in all ACPI P-, C-. and T-states".
This is not the case if migration to a host with different TSC frequency is allowed, or if savevm is performed. So block migration/savevm. Also do not expose invariant tsc flag by default.
