Why a maximum of 50 samples?

It might be better to do something like this
so the ns_to_timespec isn't performe when unnecessary.

static void settimeofday(winfiletime_t hosttime)
{
	s64 host_tns = (hosttime - WLTIMEDELTA) * 100;
	struct timespec host_ts = ns_to_timespec(host_tns);
	do_settimeofday(&host_ts);
}

static void adj_guesttime(winfiletime_t hosttime, u8 flags)
{
	static s32 scnt = 50;

	if ((flags & ICTIMESYNCFLAG_SYNC) != 0) {
		settimeofday(hosttime);
		return;
	}

	if ((flags & ICTIMESYNCFLAG_SAMPLE) != 0 && scnt > 0) {
		scnt--;
		settimeofday(hosttime);
	}
}
