Well, yes and no ... we'd like to account for the migration latency on
the timebase or the guest view of real time will get skewed since it
uses the TB to maintain it's clock.
So assuming both hosts are reasonably synchronized with NTP, we want a
correlation guest TB / TOD in order to properly make the adjustment on
the target.
This may not be what Alexey implemented but I think that's what Paulus
and I asked for :-)
Cheers,
Ben.
