This is really just copying the logic from kvm_resched() from 
virt/kvm/kvm_main.c. And I'd prefer not to diverge from that. I do agree that 
there's a good chance we don't need it, as it seems to predate preempt 
notifiers:

But this is a discussion that should occur on the non-ppc specific code first 
:).
