0.89% qemu-system-x86 [kvm] [k] x86_emulate_instruction
The cause might be kvm_rip_write() using vmwrite. Can you use perf to
see where the hits are in x86_emulate_instruction?
If that's the case, we may be able to do local optimizations to
kvm_rip_write(), kvm_set_rflags(), and toggle_interruptiblity() instead
of this global change.
