Not really, it's not any different from the ordinary intercepted HLT.
Put the halted state where we currently put it (hint: nowhere), and all
is fine.
So we have a minor bug that we don't save/restore HLT state (either
emulated or "real" with your patch), that causes a spurious wakeup after
live migration.
Note for your respin, yield_on_hlt became __read_often again, so please
make it __read_mostly.
