not sure. It could be qemu being scheduled away? You could try to run
qemu with nice -20 or so, to avoid getting preempted. If time lapses
like this still show up:
trace-cm 434 0D.h. 1008us!: do_timer (tick_periodic)
trace-cm 434 0D.h. 1972us+: update_wall_time (do_timer)
trace-cm 434 0D.h. 1008us!: do_timer (tick_periodic)
trace-cm 434 0D.h. 1972us+: update_wall_time (do_timer)
then that could indicate a timekeeping weirdness, OR it could mean that
qemu is simply very slow. (there could be timer hw access between those
two function calls)
