This would make yield_to() only ever work on KVM, not that I mind this
too much, its a horrid thing and making it less useful for (ab)use is a
good thing, still this probably wants mention somewhere :-)

Also, it would not preempt a non-kvm task, even if we need
to do that to boost a VCPU. I think the lines above should
be dropped.
