hpet overhead on large smp guests
I measured hpet consuming about a half a core's worth of cpu on an
idle Windows 2008 R2 64-way guest. This is mostly due to futex
contention, likely from the qemu mutex.
Options:
- ignore, this is about 1% of the entire system (but overhead might
increase greatly if a workload triggers more hpet accesses)
- push hpet into kernel, with virtio-net, virtio-blk, and kernel-hpet,
there's little reason to exit into qemu
- rcuify/fine-grain qemu locks
- implement hyper-v timers
