[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2 1/2] kvm: support -realtime cpu-pm=on|off

2018-06-12 Thread Michael S. Tsirkin
With this flag, kvm allows guest to control host CPU power state. This increases latency for other processes using same host CPU in an unpredictable way, but if decreases idle entry/exit times for the running VCPU. Follow-up patches will expose this capability to guest (using mwait leaf). Based
