[PATCH 0/7] Consolidate vcpu ioctl locking
In general, all vcpu ioctls need to take the vcpu mutex, but each one does it
(or not) individually. This is cumbersome and error prone.
This patchset moves all locking to a central place. This is complicated
by the fact that ppc's KVM_INTERRUPT and s390's KVM_S390_INTERRUPT break
the convention and need to run unlocked.
Why is the x86 non-kernel-pic path different?
Userspace issues the ioctl from a vcpu thread.
It has to, btw, since whether an interrupt can be injected or not
depends on vcpu-synchronous registers: eflags.if and tpr/cr8.
