I was referring to vl.c's timeout = 10; which makes the select call
use a timeout of 10ms. That said, "/* If all cpus are halted then wait
until the next IRQ */", so maybe that's why you get slower wakeups per
second.  I'm still surprised because of the call to qemu_mod_timer in
pit_irq_timer_update which should setup at least a 100Hz timer with
linux guests (when they don't have HPET available).
