We should be able to get the uptime of the guest's qemu process itself 
though, and report that back "over the wire" to a requesting client, 
without needing a guest OS agent.  Or even keep track of when libvirt 
launched the guest as wall clock time.

Not the same thing as "how long has the guest OS been up?", but 
potentially useful for management tools.

Regards and best wishes,
