Here's one of my systems, running ntpd on stable/11 r330228 on 
XenServer 7.3, and there have been no issues so far. Timekeeping is as 
good as can be expected. The XenServer host has Intel CPUs.

$ uname -aKU

Note, I run a custom kernel eliminating most of the unneeded stuff 
when running as a/an Xen guest, see

for details.

Hi David,

We have no Xen setup as far as I know so in short; these changes were =
not tested on Xen as far as I know.

Cheers
