Hi, I am doing the virtio performance analysis on PowerPC,with the updated QEMU I had observed that the EMUL_MTSPR instruction counts in KVM Exit count is going really high when I send packets from Guest with respect to without sending network packets from Guest. I had added few prints and found that special register number 336 which corresponds to TSR:Timer Status is been called number of times which I think could result in a higher CPU Utilization. I would be thankful if I could get some opinions about this observation.
