OK... let me figure this out. I had this suspect as well - the host gets
a VM exit for each injected guest IRQ?

BTW, I also tried with in-kernel GIC disabled (in the kernel config),
but I guess that's pointless. Linux seems to be stuck on a
non-functional architectural timer then, right?

Just killed every config that has PM for FREQ in its name, but that
makes no difference.
