=== Description ===
We saw VM booting very slowly with the following two settings in the guest config file:
  1. cpuset
  2. vhost-user

It seems this problem happened on 4.11.0-17.el7a.aarch64 kernel, but not with kernel 4.11.0-10.el7a.aarch64. We also found that, at least on arm1 (a Gigabyte machine owned by network team) machine, lower index of physical cores (e.g. 6, 7, 8, 9) will cause the problem. But a larger index numbers allow VM to boot successfully.

==== Setting Details ====
1. cpuset
  <vcpu placement='static' cpuset='6-9'>4</vcpu>
  <cputune>
    <vcpupin vcpu='0' cpuset='6'/>
    <vcpupin vcpu='1' cpuset='7'/>
    <vcpupin vcpu='2' cpuset='8'/>
    <vcpupin vcpu='3' cpuset='9'/>
  </cputune>
2. vhost user
    <interface type='vhostuser'>
      <mac address='00:be:ef:00:ba:be'/>
      <source type='unix' path='/usr/local/var/run/openvswitch/vhost1' mode='client'/>
      <model type='virtio'/>
      <driver queues='4'>
        <host mrg_rxbuf='off'/>
      </driver>
      <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x09' function='0x0'/>
    </interface>
