yes, changing to:
if (unlikely(vcpu->cpu != cpu) || check_tsc_unstable()) {
	kvm_make_request(KVM_REQ_CLOCK_UPDATE, vcpu);
	/* Make sure TSC doesn't go backwards */
	s64 tsc_delta = !vcpu->arch.last_host_tsc ? 0 :

is also OK.

what about changing:
if (check_tsc_unstable()) {
	kvm_x86_ops->adjust_tsc_offset(vcpu, -tsc_delta);                                                                                                               
	vcpu->arch.tsc_catchup = 1;
	kvm_make_request(KVM_REQ_CLOCK_UPDATE, vcpu);
}                                                                                                                                                                       

to:

if (check_tsc_unstable()) {
	kvm_x86_ops->adjust_tsc_offset(vcpu, -tsc_delta);                                                                                                               
	vcpu->arch.tsc_catchup = 1;
}                                                                                                                                                                       
kvm_make_request(KVM_REQ_CLOCK_UPDATE, vcpu);

this fixes thinks for me as well..
n.
