Since KVM_RUN on any vCPUs doesn't necessarily mean that the VM
started yet, the name might be a bit misleading IMHO. I would
think 'has_run_once' or 'ran_once' might be more clear (?).

It might be nicer to add a comment why the code below gets kvm->lock.
Anyway, the patch generally looks good to me, and thank you
for making this change (it works for my purpose as well).
