Eelco Dolstra 8db3bdc4fc * In VM tests, use acpi_pm as the clock source. This causes the guest
clock to slow down under high host load.  This is usually a bad
  thing, but for VM tests it should provide a bit more determinism
  (e.g. if the VM runs at lower speed, then timeouts in the VM should
  also be delayed).
