  None of these is perfect, but it does stop the clock from rolling
backwards and doesn't require a network.  It should solve the issue with
DNSSEC (since even days shouldn't matter for cert validity with enough
servers).  I'm not sure if ntpd will be happy (does the --force-step-once
work if you boot up, don't have a network for a chunk of time, then regain
network?).
