How do these Linux x64 guests fare with the original and default timer mode,
by the way? I would expect that time should be accounted pretty accurately
in that mode, albeit with more interrupts than you'd like. Or is the lack of
synchronisation of TSCs across VCPUs causing issues that you're trying to
avoid?
