Some monitoring tool will need to catch that event and spawn a
"dummy" VM to consume 25% cpu, bringing back everyone's use to 25% as before.

That's admittedly not neat, but that's what we are thinking of atm in absence of
a better solution to the problem (ex: kernel scheduler supporting hard-limits).
