The reason VMI tends to thing lower level is that most of its
interfaces are like real hardware and of the code
would be just copied then if it did high level interfaces.
I suspect this specific hook could only be made better if
smpboot.c was refactored into more pieces and callable, but I doubt
that would be a big overall improvement.
