Hi Paolo & David,

In my original approach, I call kvm_arch_vcpu_in_kernel() in handle_pause(),
without EXPORT_SYMBOL the compiler reports:
 ERROR: "kvm_arch_vcpu_in_kernel" [arch/x86/kvm/kvm-intel.ko] undefined!
 ERROR: "kvm_arch_vcpu_in_kernel" [arch/x86/kvm/kvm-amd.ko] undefined!

But Paolo's approach is significantly better, it's a work of art, thanks a lot.
