Right, but VIRTUAL and VIRTUAL_RT do not proceed when the machine is
stopped.  For HOST it makes sense, but then the same should happen
independent of the replay mode (using qemu_clock_enable).

Otherwise, if a checkpoint for the wrong clock sneaks in at the wrong
point while the VM is running, I wonder if replay could grind to a halt.
