Sorry, I forgot to reply to this part.

See commit 33b5e8c03ae7 for reference.  The differences will be:
* Instead of removing RDTSCP from builtin_x86_defs, you'll be adding it.
* Instead of adding rdtscp=on entries to PC_COMPAT_2_4, you'll
  be adding rdtscp=off entries to PC_COMPAT_3_1.

PC_COMPAT_3_1 is added by the patch that creates the 4.0
machine-types.  You can find it on my machine-next branch at:
