Well, it would be host_latency+guest_latency worst-case, right?

That should still be bounded, as long as both guest and host is 
running nohz-full mode.

Also, technically when the host gets such an IRQ, the guest is 
interrupted as well. So the host could do the guest's work and pass 
through the result via paravirt or so.

Thanks,

	Ingo
