I have the feeling this has been completely inconsistent from the start.

If we can't destroy a cpu we also won't take the VM out of PV state
because that's only allowed if we have removed all PV CPUs. That means
KVM thinks the VM is in PV mode but most of the CPUs are not.

Granted if the destroy CPU fails it makes more sense to just kill the VM
but looking at QEMU we don't even check the return value of that call.
