Here we already have a conflict... Owen says he prefers the master clock
to expose the (stable) TSC, you say you prefer CLOCK_MONOTONIC.
I for one _thought_ CLOCK_MONOTONIC would have been my choice, but I'm
not so sure about it and I'm also not sure it's possible to do it
efficiently. The mult/shift/offset tuple potentially can change every
tick, and it would be bad to do such an update #vms times per tick (or
worse, #vcpus times per tick).
