The new scheduler is aggressive about moving VCPUs around to
keep the entire SMP host system busy. The operation to move a
VCPU's context from one CPU to another needs to be reasonably
efficient.
I didn't try this with an HVM guest. Can you help out with
this? I need to look at the code path that moves an HVM VCPU's
context between physical CPUs. We may need to optimize that
path.
