The trace result from xenalyze confirms that when a VM has a running
CPU intensive program, it never needs to be waken up. So, my question
is, how can I schedule a VM that has I/O event immediately even this
VM is CPU intensive? I think it is impossible to implement it in the
function csched_vcpu_wake.

Also, is it possible to trace the I/O procedure by xenalyze? I notice
even the macro TRC_HVM_IO_READ is defined, I don't find it is used in
anywhere.

Thanks,
Yuehai
