Thanks.  I'll resend then.  I did notice a few issues with my original
patch, so it good that it's getting looked at in greater detail.

I've just checked in a patch to provide a clean wallclock update 
interface from common Xen code. Please re-send based on that patch. 
Your dom0_op implementation should modify d->time_offset_seconds 
directly and then call update_domain_wallclock_time(d).

Apart from that, the time_offset_seconds field in dom0_op.h should be 
type int32_t (we don't use s32 in public headers).
