Even if I fix the abstraction, there is a question of whether it is
necessary to have more than one timer list per AioContext, because
the timer list is fundamentally per clock-source. I am currently
just using QEMU_CLOCK_REALTIME as that's what the block drivers normally
want. Will block drivers ever want timers from a different clock source?
