I know it is definitely a hack. But it really happened _after_ the other fix was
applied. But only when the terminal/vnc viewer window is open. Something in
vit-manager must be using GetVCPUs even after shutdown.

But I agree that the architecture is weird the first place. Having multiple
subdrivers called in sequence it seems a general problem to have any errors
reported in one. The next one can succeed and then its not an error. At least in
my understanding.
