Hi,

Given that we now have a similar feature from Stefano I'd like to see
them resolved into a single patchset.

This still makes no sense to me.  Either it should affect the calling
vcpu (i.e., current) or it should affect all online vcpus.

Also, whatever the semantics, they should be documented in comments in
the header file.
