Unfortunately there are no guarantees that the same task
always keeps the same vcpu, so we can only track the task
across a single "run" of the vcpu.

So shouldn't it confine to KVM_RUN?  The other vcpu_load callers aren't
always a vcpu in a useful runnable state.

Yeah, probably.  If you want I can move the setting of
vcpu->task to kvm_vcpu_ioctl.
