Thats much better.

Testcase is kvmctl without -p, which does not do
kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl_set_sregs. I suppose that is valid? (in practice its
no big deal since kvmctl can be updated, and qemu-kvm does set_sregs,
but..).
KVM: use vcpu_id instead of bsp_vcpu pointer in kvm_vcpu_is_bsp
Change kvm_vcpu_is_bsp to use vcpu_id instead of bsp_vcpu pointer, which
is only initialized at the end of kvm_vm_ioctl_create_vcpu.
