Second, migration or not, once you start time-slicing, you have

Yep, locality across timeslices doesn't really help. If you've run a
different VCPU between timeslices then the caches will be cold. Even if
there is a small cache advantage, it's very unlikely to balance the
cost of deliberately leaving CPUs idle. Things may be more interesting
in NUMA environments, but there's always the per-VCPU affinity map to
restrict cross-CPU scheduling to within a NUMA node.
