The Xen Interface manual for Xen v2.0 (attached) Page 4 defines Domain - virtual time as

indicated by the rate at which its virtual time increases."
I am interesting in finding out if any of the timing system 
calls/instructions like gettimeofday(), hwclock(), rdtsc() can read 
this domain virtual time.
/proc/stat publishes stolen time for each vcpu (second-last column on 
the "cpuX" lines); you can subtract that from monotonic time to work out 
how much vcpu the domain has got.
