How about:

Set the real time clock to local time or to UTC. 0 by default, i.e. set
to UTC.

Move both to the end of that section.

See below patch.

(I have problem to run xen-unstable, will re-send this patch after I get
xen-unstable running and more test).

How about below compile-test-only patch?

Subject: [PATCH] libxl: support for "rtc_timeoffset" and "localtime"

Implement "rtc_timeoffset" and "localtime" options compatible as xm.

rtc_timeoffset is the offset between host time and guest time.
localtime means to specify whether the emulted RTC appears as UTC or is
offset by the host.
