I'm all in favor of that.  Ditto for the vcpu struct so that we can get rid of
the stupid VCPU_ID code.

I have spent more time than I care to admit trying to do relatively simple things
in the selftests that become unnecessarily complex just because core state like
the vm_fd is hidden from individual tests.
