Yes, this is definitely an issue.

Tracing, we also musn't call into tracing when using raw_local_irq_*().
Because then we re-intoduce this same issue all over again.

Both halt() and safe_halt() are more paravirt calls, but given we're in
a KVM paravirt call already, I suppose we can directly use native_*()
here.

Something like so then... I suppose, but then the Xen variants need TLC
too.
