Generally
Reviewed-by: Jan Beulich <jbeulich@suse.com>
but I think there's one small code change needed plus I have two
nits (and I expect that this change wouldn't be committed without
patch 2, as making the function non-static isn't warranted
otherwise):

Use uint64_t as you move this here?

I think you need to also honor opt_hpet here.

I don't think I see a need for the assignment and hence the local
variable. Dropping it would make the code easier to read imo.
