When booting 4.13 on a VirtualBox VM on a Skylake host the following
error shows up in the logs:
[ 0.000000] [Firmware Bug]: TSC_DEADLINE disabled due to Errata;
please update microcode to version: 0xb2 (or later)
This is caused by apic_check_deadline_errata() only checking CPU model
and not the X86_FEATURE_TSC_DEADLINE_TIMER flag (which VirtualBox does
NOT export to the guest), combined with VirtualBox not exporting the
micro-code version to the guest.
This commit adds a check for X86_FEATURE_TSC_DEADLINE_TIMER to
apic_check_deadline_errata(), silencing this error on VirtualBox VMs.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
