Refreshed version of the earlier posted patch, now also adding a safety
check about the correct vm state to kvm_load_registers.
Some monitor commands as well as the vm_stop() issued by the gdbstub on
external interruption so far deadlock on vcpu locks in the kernel. Patch
below resolves the issue by temporarily or permanently stopping all vcpu
threads before issuing the related KVM IOCTLs. At this chance the patch
also removes redundant checks for kvm_enabled.
Among other things, the patch now allows to break into the BIOS or other
guest code spinning in the vcpu and to use things like "info cpus" in
the monitor.
