Nope, the zapping code paths will run often with no running vCPU, for
example drop_parent_pte <- kvm_mmu_unlink_parents <-
__kvm_mmu_prepare_zap_page <- kvm_zap_obsolete_pages <-
kvm_mmu_zap_all_fast <- kvm_mmu_invalidate_zap_pages_in_memslot <-
kvm_page_track_flush_slot <- kvm_arch_flush_shadow_memslot <-
kvm_invalidate_memslot <- ioctl(KVM_SET_USER_MEMORY_REGION).
