You mean, run kernel on bare metal with CONFIG_PARAVIRT_SPINLOCKS
enabled and compare how it performs with CONFIG_PARAVIRT_SPINLOCKS disabled for 
some workload(s)?

In some sense, the 1x overcommitcase results posted does measure the overhead
of (pv-)spinlocks no? We don't see any overhead in that case for atleast
kernbench ..
