Unclear grammar.  Not sure if you meant:

instead of replaying the value from qemu

or:

instead of relying on the value from qemu

but either alternative makes more sense.

Please add the trailing comma, so that the next edit to this code can
also be a one-liner.

Might be worth mentioning how to interpret the value - is it seconds
since Epoch?

Looks correct.  ACK with the nits fixed up.
