Subject: [PATCH] realtime-virtual-host: pin only the vcpu thread to isolated
 pCPU (v2)

As noted in the bugzilla ticket

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1554851

The QEMU I/O thread can interrupt the time measurement
of the timer. To avoid this problem, only
pin the vCPU thread.

v2:
   - Use unix sockets (Luiz)
   - Proper numeric output (Luiz)
