Add 'viridian=1' to your domain config file.

APIC accesses are done via emulated MSRs rather than emulated mmio cycles,
which is a teeny bit faster. Also we implement spin-wait notofications, so a
vcpu can be descheduled rather than spin. There's others also we could
implement but it's not clear it would be a win for us.
