When creating an external event, the current time needs to
be propagated to other participants of a simulation. This
is done in the places here where we kick a virtq etc.
However, it must be done for _all_ external events, and
that includes making the initial socket connection and
later closing it. Call time_travel_propagate_time() to do
this before making or closing the socket connection.
Apparently, at least for the initial connection creation,
due to the remote side in my use cases using microseconds
(rather than nanoseconds), this wasn't a problem yet; only
started failing between 5.14-rc1 and 5.15-rc1 (didn't test
others much), or possibly depending on the configuration,
where more delays happen before the virtio devices are
initialized.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
