[build] Disable TIVOLI_VMM_WORKAROUND in the qemu configuration 

This prevents KVM guests from crashing that run iPXE on host CPUs
without "unrestricted_guest" support.

Once KVM gets the FXSAVE / FXRSTOR emulation feature (*), and the
feature becomes widely available to users, we can back out this change
from iPXE.

(*) Already in progress by Radim:

    [PATCH 0/2] KVM: x86: emulate fxsave and fxrstor
