This changes save data to consistent/expected values.  It is not

So am I getting it right that this is just to alter what's in the save image
then?

Yes.

I'm somewhat confused by the wording above, which I first read
mostly like "here is a change that we don't need".

This is a change that is only "needed" with patch #10
"handle 1st period special".

However it does look strange to people
that the output from xen-hvmctx for the comparator
values do not change when the master clock does.

Since hpet_get_comparator() will always adjust
the current value of comparator  to the current value
of the master clock, migration just "works".
