Well, I guess some kind of bad serialization is going on in there, and
it should be fairly obvious with a bit of examination.
Have you tried building your own pvops domu kernels? Does enabling PV
spinlocks make any difference? Also enabling some of the lock
debugging/profiling/contention monitoring stuff may give useful results.
Can you post the corresponding 2.6.18 results? Are there specific
sub-tests which show the effect more strongly than the others?
How does the 2.6.32 kernel fare when booted native?
Thanks,
