I actually did mean the VM, but I should clarify to mean as long as
we're running the VCPU on this physical CPU, even if we trap to the
host.

See my reply to Yury.  In terms of merging flags I thought about merging
it with the debug flags, but I didn't think it would look very nice, and
I couldn't come up with a name for the variable that would describe the
logic.

Honestly, I didn't care about the few extra bytes per CPU, and much prefer
clarity, but it may make sense to combine this with for example the
sysreg and timer state later, I'll have a look.
