The idea here was "run vm with this vcpu as BSP", implicitly assuming 
that there are alwasy 2 vcpu inside, so we are picking one as BSP.

Maybe

run_vm_2_vcpu(uint32_t bsp_vcpid)

is better?

I think it will be even more confusing to have BSP_VCPU fixed to 
VCPU_ID1, because in the tests before and after I use VCPU_ID0 as BSP.

	run_vm_bsp(VCPU_ID0);
	run_vm_bsp(VCPU_ID1);
	run_vm_bsp(VCPU_ID0);

Yes, it has to be called before creating the vcpus, as also shown in the 
test function "check_set_bsp_busy". KVM checks that created_vcpus is 0 
before setting the bsp field.

arch/x86/kvm/x86.c
		case KVM_SET_BOOT_CPU_ID:
		...
		if (kvm->created_vcpus)
			r = -EBUSY;
		else
			kvm->arch.bsp_vcpu_id = arg;

I will update the documentation to include also this information.

Just use the

I might be wrong, but there seems not to be an easy way to pass 
arguments to the guest function.

Thank you,
