On s390 there is a difference between has_interrupt and not runnable: 
CPUs can be in stopped state, and they can be in enabled wait (enabled 
for interrupts, similar to hlt state on x86) or in disabled wait 
state. All those states indicate that the CPU is not runnable.
Interrupts on the other hand are typically floating between all 
virtual CPUs and can be accepted by running CPUs only (that is either 
running, or in enabled wait).

I agree that we should keep it seperated.
