With this flag, kvm allows guest to control host CPU power state. This increases latency for other processes using same host CPU in an unpredictable way, but if decreases idle entry/exit times for the running VCPU, so to use it QEMU needs a hint about whether host CPU is overcommitted, hence the flag name. This patch series adds a new kvm feature 'cpu-pm' for controlling "-overcommit cpu-pm=[on|off]" <features> <kvm> <cpu-pm state='on'/> </kvm> </features>Unless I'm missing it, there was never a followup v2 for this series ? Did you ever do more work on this, as this is still a useful feature to support for KVM to maximize performance AFAIK.
It's on my TODO list but other things got ahead in the queue. Menno
