Actually I think it is functionality that is in the 3.0.3 versions of
xm and xend that upstream mashed up with the 3.1 kernel to make it's
package.

I believe that the 'localtime' option broke in either of those utilities
when the HVM clock was moved from qemu to the Xen kernel.

Unless the option to have the clock use the local time has changed...
