I have the result of HT enabled case now.
config: total 64 cpu (HT on) 32 vcpu guests.
I am seeing some inconsistency in ebizzy results in this case (May be 
Drew had tried with HT on and had observed the same in ebizzy runs).
patched-nonple and  base  performance in case of 1.5x and 2x also have 
been little inconsistent for dbench too. Overall I see pvspinlock + ple 
on case more stable.
and overall pvspinlock performance seem to be very impressive in HT 
enabled case.
