This is supposedly fixed with the RTC changes Tim committed the
other day. Suravee, is that correct?
This is a separate problem.  IIRC the AMD XP perf issue is caused by the
emulation of LAPIC TPR accesses slowing down with Andres's p2m locking
patches.  XP doesn't have 'lazy IRQL' or support for CR8, so it takes a
_lot_ of vmexits for IRQL reads and writes.
Is there any tools or good ways to count the number of VMexit in Xen?

You need to manually install 'formats' from tools/xentrace/formats
to a proper place.
