With regard to old version linux guest(e.g., rhel-5.5), in ISR processing, mask and unmask msi-x vector every time, which result in VMEXIT, then QEMU will invoke kvm_irqchip_update_msi_route() to ask KVM hypervisor to update the VM irq routing table. In KVM hypervisor, synchronizing RCU needed after updating routing table, so much time consumed for waiting in wait_rcu_gp(). So CPU usage in VM is so high, while from the view of host, VM's total CPU usage is so low. 
Masking/unmasking msi-x vector only set msi-x entry "control" section, needless to update VM irq routing table.
