Can't the guest make this decision, instead of the host?

By guest, do you mean the guest OS itself or the admin of the guest VM?

I am thinking about maybe adding kernel boot command line option like "unfair_pvspinlock_cpu_threshold=4" which will instruct the OS to use unfair spinlock if the number of CPUs is 4 or less, for example. The default value of 0 will have the same behavior as it is today. Please let me know what you guys think about that.

Cheers,
