Hi,

Attached please see the hvm guest os acpi patch part 2 of

ACPI timer is required during guest windows installation and boot.

The qemu timer used to implement the ACPI timer doesn't seem to work
quite right, the time it is set to expire becomes immediately out of
syn with qemu's vm_clock and this then causes the timer to pretty much
fire all the time, resulting in qemu-dm using between 20 and 30% of
CPU on my machine.

How about the following change:
--- tools/ioemu/hw/piix4acpi.c  2006-06-27 11:12:20.000000000 +0100
+++ tools/ioemu.hg/hw/piix4acpi.c       2006-06-29 09:54:56.513574005 +0100

+    s->next_pm_time = qemu_get_clock(vm_clock) +

    qemu_mod_timer(s->pm_timer, s->next_pm_time);
    acpi_state->pm1_timer ++;

I'm not convinced if vm_clock actually works at all for us.
