Thanks, I've applied fixes as c/s 20390. The first issue is a genuine bug.
The second I think is not a critical issue, but since no good comes of
starting a vcpu without its own info structure, we may as well
check-and-fail in this case. The third issue I think does not matter, since
the first two fixes ensure that a vcpu will have a cleanly-initialised info
structure before it ever runs.
