Subject: Re: Steal time accounting in KVM. Benchmark.

 What I figured out.
It happens in intersection of 3 features:
*irq time accounting
*stolen time accounting
*linux guest with tickless idle only (not fully tickless)

Looks like timer interrupts storm is happening during this benchmark
(with 2:1 cpu overcommit). irq time accounting gets crazy. Even 'top'
shows weird statistic: 50% hi, 50% st, ~0% user, spinning processes
use ~0% cpu - that is not correct.

Thanks.
