Time virtualization for HVM is always a headache, no simple way can
provide
accurate source :-(
Per current KVM time virtualization policy, drop of jiffies or redundant
jiffies
may happen frequently. BTW, even in Xen, we are not satisfied with the
time
virtualization especially for TSC timer.  
Some modification in guest Linux side is really needed, maybe somebody
can bring this issue to virtualization mini summit?
