This version is simplified thanks to the removal of CPU_INTERRUPT_EXIT.

There are two pending issues: vm_stop() from ENOSPC handling and GDB contexes.
IMO those can be worked while testing is performed by developers.

KVM SMP support is missing, but most of the infra required is present, so
it should be relatively simple.

There's also lots of room for TCG perf improvements.

Tested with target-x86_64 and target-ppc.
