Thanks Eric!

Sorry I didn't mention this earlier, but I just remembered it.

For some of the tsc_mode's to work properly, tsc_mode AND
additional tsc information must be preserved across a
save/restore/migration.  Also, the no_migrate config option has
an indirect impact on tsc_mode; with no_migrate specified
certain guests will be able to use tsc as their primary
clocksource, which can be much faster.  (IOW, implementing
no_migrate is not a requirement, but may be worthwhile.)

it seems that the tsc information are automatically save by xenguest saving code, and embedded in the save image.
