Can you please group this into a single if, ie:

if ( w->do_write.cr0 || w->do_write.cr3 || ... )
    return true;

You could just do:

pending_op |= vm_event_check_pending_op(v);

and avoid the initialization of pending_op above. Or alternatively:

if ( !pending_op && vm_event_check_pending_op(v) )
    pending_op = true;

Which avoid repeated calls to vm_event_check_pending_op when at least
one vCPU is known to be busy.

What happens when this gets called from vm_event_cleanup?

AFAICT the result there is ignored, and could leak the vm_event
allocated memory?

Thanks, Roger.
