CLOCK_REALTIME still has vDSO acceleration in many cases on x86-64, right? It's
just a bit slower, and the difference can matter to some logging frameworks if
I recall correctly.

Bruno, the standard sources you cite suggest that we should round the seconds
since epoch, and not (mostly) truncate it. So the standards seem to permit such
divergence already (although the rounding it as suggested would move the less
precise timestamp forward, not backwards).
