Yeah, I am not sure what the usecase would be for per-vCPU halt polling. You could perhaps disable halt polling for vCPUs that are not placed on isolated physical CPUs (devoting those vCPUs to housekeeping), but it seems to me that this would be quite hard to get right. But in that case you would probably prefer to disable HLT vmexits completely, rather than use halt polling. Paolo
