In addition, as Paolo great pointed out
http://www.spinics.net/lists/kvm/msg132983.html, the upcoming vmx
preemption timer also can get benefit, preemption time will just
switch to hrtimer if block, if the remaining expire time is enough
small and there is just a single task in this pCPU, poll will cut the
latency.
