Just for the record, with a pvops dom0 and a non-pvops domu, you still
need to set independent_wallclock=1 for ntp to be able to modify the
clock. Without that change, ntp tells me:

time reset -409.699016 s
...
time reset -409.776693 s
...
time reset -409.854404 s
...
time reset -409.930385 s
...
time reset -410.009187 s

but never actually adjusts the time!
