KVM: VMX: increase ple_gap default to 128
On some CPUs, a ple_gap of 41 is simply insufficient to ever trigger
PLE exits, even with the minimalistic PLE test from kvm-unit-tests.
http://git.kernel.org/?p=virt/kvm/kvm-unit-tests.git;a=commitdiff;h=eda71b28fa122203e316483b35f37aaacd42f545
For example, the Xeon X5670 CPU needs a ple_gap of at least 48 in
order to get pause loop exits:
# modprobe kvm_intel ple_gap=47
# taskset 1 /usr/local/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 \
-device testdev,chardev=log -chardev stdio,id=log \
-kernel x86/vmexit.flat -append ple-round-robin -smp 2
VNC server running on `::1:5900'
enabling apic

# rmmod kvm_intel
# modprobe kvm_intel ple_gap=48
# taskset 1 /usr/local/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 \
-device testdev,chardev=log -chardev stdio,id=log \
-kernel x86/vmexit.flat -append ple-round-robin -smp 2

Increase the ple_gap to 128 to be on the safe side.
