Why is this necessary? Can the vcpu structures move on resume?

Putting this check in CONFIG_SMP is more or less pointless, since
effectively every kernel is built with SMP enabled now. Can you either
check whether the max CPUs is 1, or just make it always depend on vector
callback, even on a UP kernel/domain?
