+ ---help---
+ Calculate time taken for each vcpu in the real-mode guest entry,
+ exit, and interrupt handling code, plus time spent in the guest
+ and in nap mode due to idle (cede) while other threads are still
+ in the guest. The total, minimum and maximum times in nanoseconds
+ together with the number of executions are reported in debugfs in
+ kvm/vm#/vcpu#/timings. The overhead is of the order of 30 - 40
+ ns per exit on POWER8.

+ If unsure, say N.
