I wonder if it would be possible to get rid of kvm_arch_free_vcpus(kvm)
completely and simply call

kvm_for_each_vcpu(i, vcpu, kvm)
kvm_arch_vcpu_free(vcpu);

at that point.

Would certainly require some refactoring, and I am not sure if we could
modify the special mmu handling for x86 ("Unpin any mmu pages first.").
But if in doubt, that part could be moved to kvm_arch_destroy_vm(), just
before calling kvm_free_vcpus().

i = atomic_xchg(&kvm->online_vcpus, 0);
