For gettimeofday better make TSC work. Even in the best case (no 
virtualization) it is much faster than HPET because it sits in the CPU,
while HPET is far away on the external south bridge.

For other HPET usages (interval timer etc.) which are less
performance critical I suppose vmexits are
not a serious problem so a standard software device model should work.
