Since Xen 3.1 the clock=variable semantic is supported. In addition to qemu/kvm Xen also knows about a variant where the offset is relative to 'localtime' instead of 'utc'. Extends the libvirt structure with a flag 'basis' to specify, if the offset is relative to 'localtime' or 'utc'. Extends the libvirt structure with a flag 'reset' to force the reset behaviour of 'localtime' and 'utc'; this is needed for backward compatibility with previous versions of libvirt, since they report incorrect XML. Adapt the only user 'qemu' to the new name. Extend the RelaxNG schema accordingly. Document the new 'basis' attribute in the HTML documentation. Adapt test for the new attribute.

LibVirt : simple API for virtualization Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.

Description
Libvirt provides a portable, long term stable C API for managing the
virtualization technologies provided by many operating systems. It
includes support for QEMU, KVM, Xen, LXC, bhyve, Virtuozzo, VMware
vCenter and ESX, VMware Desktop, Hyper-V, VirtualBox and the POWER
Hypervisor.
