Now we no longer have dynamic state affecting things we can remove the
additional fields in cpu.h and simplify the TB hash calculation.
For the benchmark:
hyperfine -w 2 -m 20 \
"./arm-softmmu/qemu-system-arm -cpu cortex-a15 \
-machine type=virt,highmem=off \
-display none -m 2048 \
-serial mon:stdio \
-netdev user,id=unet,hostfwd=tcp::2222-:22 \
-device virtio-net-pci,netdev=unet \
-device virtio-scsi-pci \
-blockdev driver=raw,node-name=hd,discard=unmap,file.driver=host_device,file.filename=/dev/zen-disk/debian-bullseye-armhf \
-device scsi-hd,drive=hd -smp 4 \
-kernel /home/alex/lsrc/linux.git/builds/arm/arch/arm/boot/zImage \
-append 'console=ttyAMA0 root=/dev/sda2 systemd.unit=benchmark.service' \
-snapshot"
