I tried to create a qemu-kvm virtual machine on a remote libvirt server, and
selected to customize the system before starting the installation. There I
selected to copy the host processor features to the guest.

When creating the VM, it failed with this error:

Unable to complete install: 'unsupported configuration: host doesn't support
invariant TSC'

Traceback (most recent call last):

I found these bug reports with patches. If I understand this correctly, both
libvirt-bin, virt-daemon and virt-install need a patch to fix this:
