I agree on the stabilization. But my point here is not to introduce new
features. Just to make the core mode easily reviewed. One of the
complains I've heard so far is that the code is hard to read. Which is
not surprising given that there's a lot of it, and that the problems it
tackles are not simple.

I'll post these patches as an RFC, and you're free to take them or not.

Interesting. It looks like the guest is taking a timer interrupt before
being ready to handle it... Probably because the timer has been disabled
while something is still pending. Investigating.
