Rebuild when RAMROOT is toggled, and add an opt-in KVM target
...
`make ramroot` wiped the objects on the way in, and nothing wiped on the
way out. So a plain `make` afterwards kept every RAMDISK_ROOT object and
linked the 24 MB ramdisk back into a kernel that no longer used it: 25 MB
where a clean build is 836 KB. It still booted -- from the ramdisk -- and
the only outward symptom was stage2 having thirty times as much to load
through PIO, one sector at a time. That is the "booting got slower"
report this came from.
A stamp file records which setting the objects were built with, and the
tree is dropped when it changes in either direction.
qemu-kvm is opt-in and the default stays TCG, because the suite's timings
were established there. Measured with the guest timing itself,
`ls /bin | wc -l` goes 2.9s -> 1.1s. Boot does not improve and gets
slightly worse: every PIO port access in stage2 is a VM exit under KVM.
Retracts a claim from earlier today. The "2.2x speedup" attributed to the
region-based allocator was a measurement artifact -- the probe sent a
command, slept a fixed 50s on the host, then read /proc/uptime, so it
timed the sleep rather than the command, through a guest clock that drifts
under load. Bracketing the command inside one guest command line shows no
measurable difference. The e820 change is still correct; it is simply not
a performance change.
