hvm pmtimer: correct pmtimer accuracy
Several seconds of backward time drift per minute can be seen on a RHEL6 HVM guest by switching the clocksource to 'acpi_pm' and then running gettimeofday() in a loop. This is due to the accumulation of small inaccuracies that are caused by shifting out the lower 32 bits when pmt_update_time() computes 'tmr_val'. The patch makes sure that the lower 32 bits of the computed value are not lost. They are saved in a new field 'not_accounted' in the PMTState structure and are accounted the next time pmt_update_time() is called.
