How about:
=====
Guest OSes in the VM image should rely on the UEFI RTC API for
real time clock services. (To provide that API, the VM system will
likely need to implement some real time clock device, but the
details of these are a private implementation issue between it
and its associated UEFI implementation.)
=====
