I just installed XP into a new VM, specifying -smp 2 for the machine.
According to top, it's using nearly 200% of a cpu even when I'm not
doing anything.
Is this real CPU useage, or just a reporting problem (just as my disk
image is big according to ls, but isn't really)?
If it's real, is there anything I can do about it?
kvm 0.7.2 on Debian Lenny (but 2.6.29 kernel), amd64. Xeon chips; 32
bit version of XP pro installed, now fully patched (including the
Windows Genuine Advantage stuff, though I cancelled it when it wanted to
run).
Task manager in XP shows virtually no CPU useage.
Please cc me on responses.
I'm guessing Windows uses a pio port to sleep, which kvm doesn't
support. Can you provide kvm_stat output?

Do not meddle in the internals of kernels, for they are subtle and quick to panic.
