Oh, this is a kernel parameter, but currently:
1. The latest kernel using "clocksource=" instead of "clock=". You can check 
the Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt
2. I haven't sent out the in-kernel PIT patch... At present, KVM still using 
PIT from userspace/QEMU.

I guesses you are under heavy workload? For "sleep" in bash seems ok on 2.6.22
(x86_64, using RHEL5 as guest distro).
