Hi,
VirtualBox now works with VT and I'm able to run SMP guests!
But apparently it's not very stable (got two boot crashes) and something
is wrong with timers:
Example 1: host HZ=250, guest HZ=1000, - guest time apparently speeds up
more than it should
Example 2: same host, guest HZ=100 - guest time apparently goes 5x
slower than real (wall) time.
Example 3: same host, guest HZ=25, guest time apparently 2x slower than
real (wall) time.
In the examples, host is amd64 8-BETA2, 4CPU, guest is 7.2-RELEASE i386,
2CPU.
Internally the time is always consistent - for example in the second
case "time sleep 2" says the guest slept 2 seconds, while in real time,
10 seconds have passed.
Time apparently goes normal when the guest is configured with only one
CPU (and VT is still active).
