Ah, if that's the problem with selecting a vcpu which happens to still be
'is_running' then I had some ideas how you could deal with that within the
credit2 scheduler. If you see such a vcpu when searching the runqueue,
ignore it, but set VPF_migrating. You'll then get a 'pick_cpu' callback when
descheduling of the vcpu is completed. That should play nice with the lazy
context switch logic while keeping things work conserving.
