Hi keir,

In credit scheduler, two vcpus in the same domain may be scheduled on the same 
CPU. For instance, vcpu0 and vcpu1 are running on the same CPU, vcpu0 is doing 
spin_lock in guest, then time slice is due, vcpu0 is scheduled out before doing 
spin_unlock, vcpu1 is scheduled in, vcpu1 is also trying to get the same spin 
lock, yes vcpu1 can't get this lock due to this lock has been got by vcpu0, so 
vcpu1 tight loop until its time slice is due, so this domain is very slow.
Of cause, even vcpu0 and vcpu1 are running on different CPUs, there is still 
similar situation, but the impact is less.

What do you think about this?

Thanks,
Anthony
