+* journalctl/timesyncd: whenever timesyncd acquires a synchronization from NTP,
+  create a structured log entry that contains boot ID, monotonic clock and
+  realtime clock (I mean, this requires no special work, as these three fields
+  are implicit). Then in journalctl when attempting to display the realtime
