About the host time, or about the guest time?  In other words, doesn't
this command exist for the host to ask the guest what time the _guest_
thinks it is, so that the host can then decide whether to issue a
followup command to tell the guest to adjust its time?

For that matter, should we name the type in patch 1/3 'TimeInfo',
instead of 'HostTimeInfo', as it is not intrinsically tied to host or
guest, but more a function of who is being queried?
