We'd better change it.  Suppose your vcpu is spinning, and you want to 
find out why?

One nice thing would be to add an on_vcpu(void (*func)(void *data), void 
*data), so that people don't have to open-code it for things like this.  
I tried to do this once, but backed off due to the mess that qemu-kvm 
threading was at the time.  I think it's much better off now.
