Is there any detail on when you would actually need to use the clocksource= option? I'd love to not have to deal with the kernel-vm packages since there doesn't appear to be a repo for them yet and if you have other requirements like kmod-drbd you have to manually rebuild those.
I use clocksource=pit because my VM clocks ran WAY fast without it. They still run a bit fast (1 second per 6 hours type of thing). If you do not use a clocksource option, how are your clocks?
One thing to make sure of if your clock is running fast is to get the correct setting for this in your vmx file for the VM:
host.cpukHz =
See this link for more info:

Note: if you do not have the command cpufreq-info you can get it by installing cpufreq-utils with this command:
yum install cpufreq-utils
Then set the value based on the above article, then time might not run as fast.
