Yes, thought the order should be flipped in order to avoid suboptimal
case when preemption hits us after avic_set_running().
static void svm_vcpu_unblocking(struct kvm_vcpu *vcpu) {
vcpu->is_blocking = false;
avic_set_running(vcpu, true);
}
avic_set_running has barriers that prevent GCC from harmful reordering.
