Re: amd64 HVM(+PV) domUs: losing 10+ minutes a day

["Ben C." <armondbc%gmail.com@localhost>]

Just adding my bit of voodoo,

cpuid = [ '0x40000002:edx=0x3' ]

in the xen .cfg file might help.  It seems to reduce load in HVMs for
me.  But it may do nothing at all and I'm just completely mad.

Reference here:

Just google the line and you'll get some more info on it.  No real
clue if it works for NetBSD dom0s/non-linux dom[0|u] but I add it
anyway.  If you do some googling you'll find there are claims that it
does something to the clock source.

Just trying to help,
Ben
