There's not really an advantage to adding stubs first. The plan depends on the
lifecycle patches getting accepted in some form at some point. The code is all
out there, and some of it has been reviewed/commented on, but not accepted.

kvm needs the following patches:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/1/6/355 (v7, still in work)
http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/127828/
This second patch introduces ioctl KVM_SETSTATE_VCPU, (qemu uses it to signal
vcpu destruction to the host) but the review mentions there should be a
simpler way. It's unclear to me whether this ioctl is desired or not.

userspace qemu/qemu-kvm need some form of these patches
http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/127831/
http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/127830/
http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/127833/
http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/127834/

Assuming that the above is further reviewed and accepted, the extra code
needed to actually make something useful in the stub functions would be something
like the following (with the above ioctl), comments welcome. This code calls
kvm function from hw/acpi_piix4.c so it's probably not well abstracted enough
for upstream.

Those patches are not strictly needed.  On a kernel that doesn't have
them, you can simply park the vcpu thread in userspace until it is
re-added.  I suggest writing the qemu patches without the assumption
that you're running on a 3.4+ kernel.

ok, I will try to handle CPU ejection without relying on the lifecycle
patches.
