To handle differences between real hardware and virtualized environments, I implemented detection for KVM/QEMU and adjusted the local APIC timer period accordingly. |

Description
First, On QEMU, CPU threads sometimes spiked to 900–1400% host CPU.
A combination of short-period timers(100 µs)and busy-wait, creating an interrupt reprogramming loop so dense that hlt was rarely reached.
Next, Added the changes below
With this change, CPU runaway no longer occurs, and the system runs stably on QEMU.
