Don''t expose CPUID time leaf when not using PVRDTSCP

Some versions of Oracle''s Solaris PV drivers make a check that the
maximal
Xen hypervisor CPUID leaf is <= base leaf + 2 and refuse to work if this
is not the case.
The addition of the time leaf makes the maximal leaf == base leaf + 3 so
this patch introduces a workaround that obscures the time leaf unless
PVRDTSCP is in operation.
