I'm pretty sure that still doesn't work. If
you try to hand over execute to a virtualized CPU and you're in the
middle of an instruction it doesn't seem possibly for it to work.
I need a concrete example here. As I understand, if the processor has
moved to the Idle state in the middle of an instruction, it would not
complete that instruction. Whatever wakes up the processor in future will
also tell the processor what to do next.
