It's interesting to imagine that a virtualization host could present a
time service to the guest *userspace*, even when the guest is not
otherwise exposed to the internet at large. This could take the form of
an NTP server on a private network, or as an implementation of a time
source directly usable by ntpd in the guest, for instance as an emulated
serial port with synthetic NEMA GPS signal + PPS signal, for instance.
