I add a trace_printk here to test Peter's solution:

if (unlikely(vcpu->arch.mp_state == KVM_MP_STATE_UNINITIALIZED)) {
if (kvm_run->immediate_exit) {
r = -EINTR;
goto out;
}
kvm_vcpu_block(vcpu);
kvm_apic_accept_events(vcpu);
kvm_clear_request(KVM_REQ_UNHALT, vcpu);
r = -EAGAIN;
if (signal_pending(current)) {
r = -EINTR;
vcpu->run->exit_reason = KVM_EXIT_INTR;
++vcpu->stat.signal_exits;
}
trace_printk("load/put make no sense\n");
goto out;
}

I can observe 92339 times "load/put make no sense" in the log during a
32 vCPUs guest booting on a 32 pCPUs Xeon Skylake server. The print
frequency is as below:

I will send out the fx_init() solution, you can pick it if it makes sense. :)
