[Minios-devel] [PATCH 22/22] mini-os: support idle for HVMlite



Instead of calling HYPERVISOR_sched_op(SCHEDOP_block, 0) we need to use
the "hlt" instruction with interrupts enabled to switch to idle when
running as HVMlite domain.

This requires to setup a new timer in the timer handler as there is no
guarantee the original timer event we are waiting for won't fire
between enabling interrupts and calling "hlt".
