The key capability sch_fq needs for pacing is to generate timer interrupts at precise, sub-millisecond intervals. TSC doesn’t provide that; it’s just a register inside the CPU which can be read efficiently on demand. It is however possible that kvm-clock provides that capability via the underlying HPET hardware.
