I reduced to 3x 20GB 8-core VMs on a 128GB host (rather than 3x 40GB 8-core
VMs), and haven't managed to get a really slow boot yet (>5 minutes). I'll
post agan when I get one.

I think you can go higher than that.  But 120GB on a 128GB host is
pushing it.

I've now triggered a very slow boot at 3x 36GB 8-core VMs on a 128GB host
(i.e. 108GB on a 128GB host).

It has the same profile with _raw_spin_lock_irqsave and
isolate_freepages_block at the top.

That's the page compaction code.

Mel Gorman and I have been working to fix that,
the latest fixes and improvements are in the -mm
kernel already.
