Yes, please.  I don't grok the clock update mechanism in the KVM host
well enough to be sure that patch 1 is actually correct.  All I know
is that it works better on my laptop with the patch than without the
patch and that it seems at least conceptually correct.

In any event, patch 1 is a host patch and 2-5 are guest patches, and
they only interact to the extent that it's hard for me to test 2-5 on
the guest without patch 1 on the host because without patch 1 my
laptop's host kernel tends to disable stable kvmclock, thus disabling
the entire mechanism in the guest.
