A general question: what's going on?  I guess this will only be answered 
by me getting my hands dirty and understanding how ftrace works and how 
the output maps to what's happening.  I'll look at the docs for a while.

A specific question for now is how can I identify long latency within 
qemu here?  As far as I can tell all qemu latencies in trace6.txt are 
sub 100ms, which, while long, don't explain the guest stalling for many 
seconds.
