As part of the preparation to extend our code with paravirtual features=20
to speed up the guest execution I used the new kvmtrace code and took a=20
trace of a ubuntu_8.04 guest booting on a ubuntu_8.04 host.

The full log is ~800M but I wanted to post the instruction emulation=20
summary for all interested parties.
Based on that I want to compare the behavior later on when we use the PV=20
features.

I think about tracing segments like "early boot", "init scripts" and=20
some basic workloads separate, but for now the full boot is all I have.

@Hollis - I'll try contact you on IRC later today to discuss about PV=20
potential of SPRG0-SPRG3 (and maybe other SPR's)
