I have followed all your suggestions, and it appears to have worked.  No 
more rtc lost interrupt messages.  I upgraded the host to F13 using 
preupgrade.  This was the second time I have done this, and it has 
worked cleanly both times.  I then added the virt-preview repo, updated 
libvirt and the related packages, rebooted, added the <timer> element to 
the guest VM, and started the VM.  No annoying console messages.  Life 
is good.  Now back to finishing configuring Asterisk.  Thank you VERY 
much for all the help.
