Squashed the diff into the wrong patch! Marc pointed out this is of
course cargo-culted as I was following the pattern laid down by
KVM_REQ_SLEEP :)

I was trying to avoid any heavy refactoring in adding new
functionality here, as we handle KVM_MP_STATE_STOPPED similarly (make
a request). ARM is definitely a bit different than x86 in the way that
we handle the MP states, as x86 doesn't bounce through vCPU requests
to do it and instead directly checks the mp_state value.
Do you think it's fair to defer on repainting to a later series? We
probably will need to touch up the main run loop quite a lot along the
way.
