I Noticed that dom0 is only getting about 50% cpu after seeing about 1/2 
the performance on some benchmarks, xen0 vs baremetal.  I just ran a 
quick cpu bound script:

while [ 1 ]; do x=1; done&

..and I get this cpu util:

        total   domains
        ------- ----------
 cpu0:  [050.7] d0-0[050.7]
 
 cpu0:  [049.8] d0-0[049.8]
 
 cpu0:  [049.8] d0-0[049.8]
 
 cpu0:  [049.8] d0-0[049.8]


Anyone else seen this on x86_64 dom0 with BVT? 

I do not see this in i386 with BVT.
