So since that reboot the dom0 and domUs on that machine where I
re-instated "dom0_vcpus_pin=true" have had stable clocks keeping time
within a few milliseconds.  Normally by now there's been quite a lot of
activity on at least one of the VMs and both the dom0 and domU clocks
are starting to drift way off.  (Currently I've got them all syncing to
the other local machine that is running at stratum 3 with multiple
remote sources.)

BTW, I found the following rather interesting paper, especially for its
background information and discussion of xenclocksource during my
searches for information about all of this:

	https://www.synclab.org/pubs/radclock_2010_OSDI.pdf

There are some more related documents here:

	https://www.synclab.org/docs

That radclock thing also looks quite interesting too, and I see there
are patches for FreeBSD as well....
