From: Wanpeng Li <wanpengli@xxxxxxxxxxx>
When sending a call-function IPI-many to vCPUs, yield if any of
the IPI target vCPUs was preempted, we just select the first
preempted target vCPU which we found since the state of target
vCPUs can change underneath and to avoid race conditions.

+7. KVM_HC_SCHED_YIELD
+------------------------
+Architecture: x86
+Status: active
+Purpose: Hypercall used to yield if the IPI target vCPU is preempted
+
+a0: destination APIC ID
+
+Usage example: When sending a call-function IPI-many to vCPUs, yield if
+any of the IPI target vCPUs was preempted.
