Why is kvm_emulate_halt being executed from
KVM_MP_STATE_INIT_RECEIVED/KVM_MP_STATE_SIPI_RECEIVED again?
Why is it not true that the only valid transition from
KVM_MP_STATE_HALTED is from KVM_MP_STATE_RUNNABLE?
It would be good for KVM_MP_STATE_HALTED to indicate
"guest executed HLT instruction" (which is impossible without INIT/SIPI
being received).
