Okay.  I may remove this patch from the patch series and attempt to
sit down next week and work out something more complete that also
implements stolen time accounting.

Well, that's a separate problem.  clocksource.read should always return
real time passed, so stolen time doesn't come into it.

Right.

paravirt_ops.sched_clock should take stolen time into account, but
that's almost completely orthogonal.

Except that I wanted to change the hypercall to allow querying of real time or "available" time as VMI puts it.

How are you doing clockevents?

Right now, I'm relying on the PIT but it would be nice to eliminate that. I'd like to move to something PV so that I can make use of tickless guest kernels. I'm very open to suggestion and even more open to reusing other people's code :-)
