Also note that I have no idea what the stability of TSC is under KVM and
the current code makes no attempt to figure out if TSC is invariant,
constant, or anything else. So option 3) would also be a safe(r) bet in
that the PIT should "just work".
KVM has a PV clock, see summary of how it works here

Because clocks under virtualization are problematic, using this is
probably the best solution longer term.
On Xen HVM, you can still use the PV hypercall to map the shared_info
page and get the PV clock from there. Does all of that "just work"
from the NetBSD Xen PCI bridge device driver and Rump/Xen?
