Yeah actuall that's why I wanted to start working on that just in case
it could help to unify all of them some day (and since we did go a few
steps forward on that when discussing the dirty ring). But yeah
kvm_get_running_vcpu() for sure works for us already; let's go the
easy way this time. Thanks,
