Ah, great! I missed that commit :) Thanks mav!
And down to 37 i/s as seen in "systat -vm". Idle virtual machine
now takes 2 times less CPU on my laptop as seen from the host.
this looks like a problem... so I looked elsewhere and it turns out
I cannot get more than about 55 interrupts/s with the disk
controller either.
Happily goes to 6k i/s here (though it's under VirtualBox and
a bit old -current, not 9.0).
Yes, it looks like it's not related to the tickless mode, the disk IO is
slow even when kern.eventtimer.periodic=1. Something else is broken.
