CLOCK_MONOTONIC is directly derived from the Xen system time, so it will
presumably pause while the machine is suspended.  CLOCK_REALTIME is just
the Xen system time with an offset added to make the normal Unix TOD; if
the offset isn't updated after resume, then it will also not advance
over the suspend.
