  Thanks Nikunj for his quick verification of the patch.

  Please let me know if this patch is interesting and makes sense.

This last_boosted_vcpu thing caused us trouble during attempt to
implement vcpu destruction. It is good to see it removed from this POV.

I like this implementation.  It should achieve pretty much
the same as my old code, but without the downsides and without
having to keep the same amount of global state.
