Do you mean why I change the rtc logic? The reason is that: When a guest is idle, the main activity inside qemu is the rtc update timer(2 per second). In our experience(running 64 rhel6u1 guests), it will decrease pkg C6 residency about 6%(6% means 2 watts in my box). And normally, the guest will not use the update-end interrupt and alarm. So there has no need to run a periodic timer when guest isn't using it.
