Based on commit 02cba1598a2a3b689e79ad6dad2532521f638271 we have:

   offs_real - offs_boot = wall_to_monotonic + total_sleep_time

The patch I posted this morning separates tk->xtime_sec out of boot_ns, so
all that is missing should be a change in boot_ns from base_mono + offs_boot
to offs_real - offs_boot.

Chris, can you try this patch on top of the previous one:

diff --git a/arch/x86/kvm/x86.c b/arch/x86/kvm/x86.c
index 92493e10937c..811eecc43fe8 100644

 	struct pvclock_gtod_data *vdata = &pvclock_gtod_data;
 	u64 boot_ns;
 
-	boot_ns = ktime_to_ns(ktime_add(tk->tkr.base_mono, tk->offs_boot));
+	boot_ns = ktime_to_ns(ktime_sub(tk->offs_real, tk->offs_boot));
 
 	write_seqcount_begin(&vdata->seq);

If it doesn't work, then commit 02cba1598a2a3b689e79ad6dad2532521f638271
is also broken.
