We cannot record all QEMU_CLOCK_REALTIME timers, because they are 
simulator-related timers,
not the VM-related ones. If we'll record them then we'll have to replay 
simulator
execution. And we want just to replay VM allowing different realtime events to 
be
non-replayable (like screen refresh, monitor events handling, and so on).
