There's at least one case I mentioned above where it's broken, but, as Paolo pointed out, the real Windows guests wouldn't notice because they didn't use the feature due to missing INVTSC. I myself haven't tested all possible combinations of hv_* flags and KVM versions, but from code inspection I don't immediately see anything else that's obviously broken in this regard. Roman.
