> The invalid guest state emulation loop does not check halt_request
> which causes 100% cpu loop while guest is in halt and in invalid
> state, but more serious issue is that this leaves halt_request set, so
> random instruction emulated by vm86 #GP exit can be interpreted
> as halt which causes guest hang. Fix both problems by handling
> halt_request in emulation loop.
