Well I don't think that the missing reinjection request should be a hard
requirement on x86 since the guest can modify time independently and in
that case the reinjection command won't be even issued. The guest agent
command is technically a guest issued time change too, so there's only
the added bonus that we'd reset the interrupt backlog. One slight issue
is that libvirt does not allow to reset the interrupt backlog while not
setting the time though.

Even if we decide that the check for the existance of the command should
be arch-specific and should report error, the actual place where the
command is called should be made dependant on the presence of the
command rather than the ARCH check, so that it does not need to be
modified once it's implemented somewhere else.
