Use as:
-cpu <cpu>,<hv englightement>Use <hv englightement> from below:
hv_relaxed - windows activates it automatically when hypervisor CPU flag is present.
hv_vapic - should speed things up in general (IRQs)
hv_time - should speed things up significantly
hv_crash - can we capture this info?
hv_reset - rather redundant
hv_vpindex - required for PV TLB flush/IPSs
hv_runtime - for stats
hv_synic - required for stimer
hv_stimer - speed things up, especially with the latest Win10 update
hv_frequencies - needed for Hyper-V on KVM (tsc page clocksource
hv_reenlightenment - also needed for Hyper-V on KVM (tsc page clocksource)
hv_tlbflush - speed things up in overcommited environments
