Can you explain why? We have a thread that has detected that it's
spinning. Keeping on spinning is a waste of cpu time. Why not let
something else use the cpu?
Because its a polling interface. I much prefer it if we were to get a
wakeup notification when the vcpu holding the lock releases it.
It's a fully virtualized guest. There's no way to get this without
patching the guest kernel.
