Kind of odd, since that function contains no locking. Perhaps VCPUs are blocked so long that, by the time they get the CPU there is an event pending and the hypercall gets preempted?

What do the perfctr numbers look like for #hypercalls and #exceptions? Also worth adding one to __hypercall_create_continuation as that'll count #preemptions.
