Subject: Re: [PATCH] Drivers: hv: util: Implement Time Synchronization using
 host time sample

In CENTOS and RHEL 6 and upwards the official way would be to use

/usr/sbin/tickadj

which is provided by ntp/chrony package

This dependency on user space packages that may or may not be
installed is going to cause a lot of confusion in an already confused
space.
Are we sure theres no other way?
