"Me too". It's at least worth toying with the mmu batching stuff to see if that can shave some cycles there: it seems that cr3 caching is the main win for context switch so batching there won't help. IIRC Ingo used a magic MSR to detect kvm, and there was a question mark over that. VMI uses a different technique, which is probably worth considering...
