this page,

  http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/xenpm

seems to address hpet, pit & acpi timer sources.  and does so without
every mentioning 'clocksource' ...
tbh, i can't get past the broken english on the page;  it would be
really helpful if someone who actually understands that stuff cleaned
up the readability.

the recommendations there are( i think?) "by far" to use HPET/PIT.
which contraindicates the conclusion that I came to above :-/

so, questions are:

(1) *is* there, in fact, a bug here?
(2) which Timer is, in keeping with any/all issues discussed @ the
aforementioned wiki page, recommended?
(3) is the *real* answer simply intended to be "try them all, pick what works"?
