KVM Realtime Clock Very Slow

[Chris Tyler]

I have a KVM-based virtual machine that's been running fine for months,
but in the past week or two the realtime clock has suddenly gotten very
slow, loosing about 6 hours per day (even ntpd can't get it back on
track). I don't know of any configuration changes that have taken place
other than than normal updates of guest and host via yum. The guest is
FC6, the host is F7 on x86_64.

Anyone else seen this? (I've got rdate fixing up the time every 60
minutes until I figure this out!...)
