Hi, Carsten
Why do you think it is racy? In this function,
target_vcpu->arch.launched should be set to 1 for the first run, and
keep its value all the time. Except the first IPI to wake up the vcpu,
all IPIs received by target vcpu should go into "else" condition. So you
mean the race condition exist in "else" code ?
