I actually wasn't thinking about vcpu->halt_poll_ns though. If
single_task_running() breaks us out of the loop we will "goto out" instead
of scheduling. My suspicion is this will cause us to loop calling
kvm_vcpu_block and starve the waiting task (at least until need_resched()),
which would break the "only hog the cpu when idle" aspect of halt-polling.
That's definitely a bug, yes.
Ok, I will send out v7 to fix this in this sunday since there is
vacation in my country currently.
