Bench on KVM: will-it-scale for CortenMM and the huge page flush #533

Open

Description

@tamnd

These items need a host with /dev/kvm or real hardware. R4 had no such host, so they move here from R4.

The maps and smaps diff over the L4 corpus is done (#529), and its results are in tools/bench/cortenmm.md.
