Not too late. I haven't downloaded the patch from patchwork yet (nor my
other patches).

Well, kvm time synchronization doesn't do much between the host and
guest. And I'm looking at making it do even less. That's because the
kvm synchronization is just "read the offset and shift of the guest
from the host and do the calculations via the reader (trace-cmd
report or kernelshark)". But the P2P is sending packets back and forth
between the host and guest and trying to figure out the round trip
latency.
