We want to be able to inject async pagefault into guest event if a guest

page is swapped in and guest can continue without reschedule.
What's wrong with just 'hlt' and checking in the guest?
Halting here will leave vcpu with interrupt disabled and this will prevent
"wake up" signal delivery.
Page faults can be delivered with interrupts disabled.
Enabling interrupts is also not an options
since we can't be sure that vcpu can process interrupt at this point.
That's too bad, allowing interrupts in this context can help maintain
responsiveness.
