We are using KVM_REQ_SLEEP for VCPU hotplug. The secondary
VCPUs will block until woken-up by using an SBI call from other VCPU.
This is different from blocking on WFI where VCPU will wake-up upon
any interrupt.

I agree with your suggestion, we should definitely use kvm_vcpu_block()
here.

Yes, the vcpu->arch.pause is redundant. I will remove it.
