I'm reluctant to add timestamps just because they seem like a cool feature. I
think it's important to first understand why you want timestamps, and exactly
where the timestamp comes from. What are you expecting to gain from recording
the timestamp in qemu rather than the management application?
I'd expect nearest-second timestamps to be pretty much useless for any
practical purpose.
Also, should the timestamps be real time or virtual time?
