Thanks. Could the clocks branch be based on something that includes the
timekeeping work from the timers-ptp-2026-06-13 merge (in v7.2-rc1)?

The later parts of the series depend on ktime_get_snapshot_id() and the
reworked struct system_time_snapshot from there. Your kvm-x86/next
branch does have it; I'll keep my WIP kvmclock8 branch based on that
for now as I address the other comments.
