Basic one would be in case a machine has been paused for a long time. You know as in "hey, you lazy vm! You have been sleeping for two weeks! Now your clock is way off and poor ntp can't sync it back. So, here's current date!"
That is something that fits better through qemu-ga, but no one has implemented it yet (cc'ing qemu-devel in case I'm misrepresenting things). Of course, if we did have a qemu-ga command for pushing the current time into the guest, then libvirt could usefully expose an API to wrap that qemu-ga command.
Could you setup a wiki page on qemu.org with a list of qemu-ga commands that libvirt would like?
