Keeping in mind the complications of yield_to, I had suggested we do something suggested below:

Essentially yield to other tasks on your own runqueue and when you get to run again, try reclaiming what you gave up earlier (with a cap on how much one can feedback this relinquished time). It can be accomplished via a special form of yield(), available only to in-kernel users, kvm in this case.
