But is that true both for the 'guest-set-time' no-arg case (which tells
the guest to read the current RTC and update in-memory time
accordingly), as well as the 'guest-set-time with time argument' case
(which tells the guest to forcefully set in-memory time, then write that
time back to the RTC)?
Yes.
