Continue collecting entries from the dirty ring for the entire time the vCPU is running. Collecting exactly once all but guarantees the vCPU will encounter a "ring full" event and stop. While testing ring full is interesting, stopping and doing nothing is not, especially for larger intervals as the test effectively does nothing for a much longer time. To balance continuous collection with letting the guest make forward progress, chunk the interval waiting into 1ms loops (which also makes the math dead simple). To maintain coverage for "ring full", collect entries on subsequent iterations if and only if the ring has been filled at least once. I.e. let the ring fill up (if the interval allows), but after that contiuously empty it so that the vCPU can keep running. Opportunistically drop unnecessary zero-initialization of "count".

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
