Description
In kernel mode, this is a relatively light weight API. The usersim version is very heavy and causes tests to timeout due to cost.

Research direction
Start by locating the usersim implementation of KfRaiseIrql and the stress tests that time out because of its cost. Compare the usersim path with the kernel-mode behavior and measure the current cost under stress. Done means the usersim API is sufficiently lightweight for those tests to complete without timeouts.
