Great catch!
I should probably check that the vCPU is actually runnable with
kvm_arch_vcpu_runnable() before setting up a system event exit. That is
after all what the documentation of this whole API says it does, right?
:)
If the vCPU thread were poked for any other reason this should return 1
and let the kvm_vcpu_exit_request()/xfer_to_guest_mode_handle_work()
pairing clean up anything else.
Appreciate the review, other comments noted and will be addressed.
