Not entirely true. You can set the domUs to have an independent clock
with

echo 1 > /proc/sys/xen/independent_wallclock

and in fact with my systems I have had to do this to stop the domU
clocks slipping out of synch dramatically (I have seen this reported on
the list before but haven't had a chance to properly investigate yet).
