OK, a one-character typo meant I was returning "usec" not "sec" through
the "get_wallclock" hypercall.  Hence time was completely random; I'm
amazed it booted!

I've also made the guest use the TSC, and now time runs at normal speed.
ssh still does not install due to lack of randomness; the next patch
will fix this (the host will tell us which devices are capable of
supplying randomness, ie. not ones connecting to other guests).

Thanks!
Rusty.
