KVM_HC_KICK_CPU allows the calling vcpu to kick another vcpu out of halt state.
The presence of these hypercalls is indicated to guest via
KVM_FEATURE_PV_UNHALT/KVM_CAP_PV_UNHALT.

'bool'. Or maybe push into vcpu->requests.
Ok. I think you meant
+ struct {
+ bool pv_unhalted;
+ } pv;
and as discussed in old series (V4), cleaner implementation having
vcpu request, would still need a flag to prevent vcpu hang, so back to
having one flag.

Redundant, since we can infer this from KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID. But
please indicate this in the documentation.
Ok. will mention that in documentation added for KVM_CAP_PV_UNHALT.

Hm, what about reusing KVM_REQ_UNHALT?
Yes, I had experimented this for some time without success.
For e.g. having
make_request(KVM_REQ_UNHALT, vcpu) directly from kick hypercall.
It would still need a flag. (did not get any alternative so far except
the workaround posted in V4) :(
