Any chance that you name this function differently? Otherwise we've got
two functions that sound very similar and also have similar prototypes:

- kvm_get_vcpu(struct kvm *kvm, int i)
- kvm_lookup_vcpu(struct kvm *kvm, int id)

I'm pretty sure this will cause confusion in the future!
=> Could you maybe name the new function something like
"kvm_lookup_vcpu_by_id" or "kvm_get_vcpu_by_id" instead?

Also a short comment before the function would be nice to make the
reader aware of the difference (e.g. when hot-plugging) between the
vcpu-id and array-id.

Otherwise: +1 for finally having a proper common function for this!
