We manage hypervisors (VMWare ESXi/vCenter, KVM, XEN, Hyper-V) by remote 
Libvirt API, in our case we need to get the host uptime via the same libvirt 
interface. Is there a way get this info now for all the aforementioned 
hypervisor types?

The APIs virConnectGetSysinfo(), virNodeGetInfo() provide host info but it 
doesn't include the system uptime.

The virNodeGetCPUStats() can returns CPU usage in nanosecond, can we add the 
user + system + idle + iowait to calculate the system uptime? Looks like the 
sum value has a huge gap with the real uptime value returned by "uptime" CLI.

virsh # nodecpustats
user:               2985046540000000
system:             1368209710000000
idle:             388018933920000000
iowait:               43371960000000
