Calling vcpu_load() registers preempt notifiers for this vcpu and calls
kvm_arch_vcpu_load(). The latter will soon be doing a lot of heavy
lifting on arm/arm64 and will try to do things such as enabling the
virtual timer and setting us up to handle interrupts from the timer
hardware.
Loading state onto hardware registers and enabling hardware to signal
interrupts can be problematic when we're not actually about to run the
VCPU, because it makes it difficult to establish the right context when
handling interrupts from the timer, and it makes the register access
code difficult to reason about.
Luckily, now when we call vcpu_load in each ioctl implementation, we can
simply remove the call from the non-KVM_RUN vcpu ioctls, and our
kvm_arch_vcpu_load() is only used for loading vcpu content to the
physical CPU when we're actually going to run the vcpu.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
