This time I could really test it. There is no real performance
difference even when dom0 is busy looping. It hence looks like the
boosting feature of the credit scheduler already does a good job.

However, when using the "cap" feature of the credit scheduler, there is
indeed a noticeable difference: the stubdomain cpu time properly gets
accounted in the HVM cpu time, and the cap does have an effect on the
whole of the two.

Now I guess this has to be somehow merged with the other, more
instrusive, group support that got submitted to xen-devel.
