A more robust solution would be to accumulate detected clock "jumps"
(pairs of mono_clock, rtc_offset) along the last 12 hours of monotonic
time, adding and dropping them as they appear and fall out of the
scope. You can then calculate a more or less precise rtc value
corresponding to "12 hours of CPU time ago".
