I vote even stronger for this!
I recently created what Paulo called an 'evil' test to stress KVM related
bugs in nested migration by simulating a nested migration with a vCPU reset,
followed by reload of all of its state including nested state.
It is ugly since as you say I have to manually load the reset state, and thus
using 'KVM_VCPU_RESET' ioctl instead would make this test much more
cleaner and even more 'evil'.
