Before entering the wait loop in pause_all_vcpus, there are kicks sent
to all vcpus. Now we need to find out why some of those kicks apparently
don't reach the destination.

Again:
 - on which host kernels does this occur, and which change may have
   changed it?
 - with which qemu-kvm version is it reproducible, and which commit
   introduced or fixed it?

I failed reproducing so far.
