wallclock time for paravirtualized guests

The paravirtualized guests are offered wallclock time referenced to UTC
only, while fully virtualized guests are given the option via the config
file (localtime parameter) of starting with UTC time or local time.
What would it take to optionally provide localtime to the
paravirtualized guests as well?
For a guest that launches assuming localtime as its time basis, then
later deriving UTC from it based on configuration files, this is
problematic, requiring some convolutions to how it handles time as it
boots.
Is there some place where we can insert a localtime offset into the
start-of-day structure, or perhaps change the sharedinfo wallclock time
to be either localtime or utc, depending on a localtime parameter in the
config file, similar to what is done for fully virtualized guests?
