But that's the only thing this patch is after: lost ticks at QEMU level.
Most lost ticks will happen at the vcpu level. The iothread has low
utilization and will therefore be scheduled promptly, whereas the vcpu
thread may have high utilization and will thus be preempted. When it is
preempted for longer than the timer tick, we will see vcpu-level
coalescing. All it takes is 2:1 overcommit to see time go half as fast;
I don't think you'll ever see that on bare metal.
