[PATCH v4 1/4] KVM: X86: Add vCPU running/preempted state

From: Wanpeng Li
Date: Sun Nov 12 2017 - 19:33:42 EST


From: Wanpeng Li <wanpeng.li@xxxxxxxxxxx>

This patch reuses the preempted field in kvm_steal_time, and will export
the vcpu running/pre-empted information to the guest from host. This will
enable guest to intelligently send ipi to running vcpus and set flag for
pre-empted vcpus. This will prevent waiting for vcpus that are not running.
