The hook kqemu uses is for CPU_INTERRUPT_EXIT which is basically 
intended to allow IO to run.  The fact that it's done via cpu_interrupt 
is somewhat hackish.

I think a better hook would be something like run_io_handlers.  Since 
this is called from signal handlers, we have to be clear that this code 
needs to be signal safe.  This is compared to say a generic 
cpu_interrupt hook which doesn't necessarily need to be signal safe.

Anthony Liguori
