For Linux the best source clock is the kvm pv clock (exist from 2.6.27
and above).
For windows, standard acpi HAL uses the rtc clock by default. As long as
you use the -rtc-td-hack it won't drift.
When the tsc is not stable on the host or the host cpu might get into
deep sleep state (c2), you better use another source clock in the guest
- for windows it should be the pmtimer (using the boot.ini).
