While fiddling with an idea for optimizing state management on AMD CPUs, I wanted to skip re-saving certain host state when a vCPU is scheduled back in, as the state (theoretically) shouldn't change for the task while it's scheduled out. Actually doing that was annoying and unnecessarily brittle due to having a separate API for the kvm_sched_in() case (the state save needed to be in kvm_arch_vcpu_load() for the common path). E.g. I could have set a "temporary"-ish flag somewhere in kvm_vcpu, but (a) that's gross and (b) it would rely on the arbitrary ordering between sched_in() and vcpu_load() staying the same. The only real downside I see is that arm64 and riscv end up having to pass "false" for their direct usage of kvm_arch_vcpu_load(), and passing boolean literals isn't ideal. But that can be solved by adding an inner helper that omits the @sched_in param (I almost added a patch to do that, but I couldn't convince myself it was necessary). The other motivation for this is to avoid yet another arch hook, and more arbitrary ordering, if there's a future need to hook kvm_sched_out() (we've come close on the x86 side several times).
