Please include output of guest-get-timezone QEMU-GA command into bulk stats reported for domains. This feature is required for efficient consumption of qemu-ga info in oVirt.
timezone information was included in virDomainGetGuestInfo() patches which have been merged upstream.
In virsh, this information is returned in the new 'guestinfo' command.
