Subject: [RFC PATCH v1 1/5] KVM Guest: Add VCPU running/pre-empted state for
guest
The patch adds guest code for msr between guest and hypervisor. The
msr 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.
