[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 3/4] Fixes RTC bug with base datetime shifts in clock=vm

[Artem Pisarenko]

This makes all current "-rtc" option parameters combinations produce 
fixed/unambiguous RTC timedate reference for hardware emulation frontends.
It restores determinism of guest execution when used with clock=vm and 
specified base <datetime> value.
