From: Yang Zhang <yang.zhang.wz at gmail.com> Some latency-intensive workload have seen obviously performance drop when running inside VM. The main reason is that the overhead is amplified when running inside VM. The most cost I have seen is inside idle path. This patch introduces a new mechanism to poll for a while before entering idle state. If schedule is needed during poll, then we
