Right. In any case, see the email I've just sent, with a detailed
breakdown of the situation and of what actually happens.

Well, this does make sense to me, but the point is how you do that. I
mean, how do you get to execute some PI adjustment code, from cpu-
teardown code?
Right now, for what seemed to be necessary until now, we have the
arch_vcpu_block(). Do we need more? If yes where?
From looking only at schedule.c, we already have arch_move_irqs(), can
we take advantage of it?
Regards,
Dario
