Deferring preemption (when vcpu is holding lock) may give us better than 1-3%
results on PLE hardware. Something worth trying IMHO.
Is the improvement so low, because PLE is interfering with the patch, or
because PLE already does a good job?
It is because PLE already does a good job (of not burning cpu). The
1-3% improvement is because, patchset knows atleast who is next to hold
lock, which is lacking in PLE.
