Also, before we do the merge I think we need to duplicate the

        if (unlikely(!kvm_vcpu_initialized(vcpu)))
                return -ENOEXEC;

that we currently have above the call of kvm_vcpu_first_run_init()
into kvm_arch_vcpu_run_pid_change() because
kvm_arch_vcpu_run_pid_change() is called before kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl_run()
in KVM_RUN.

Thanks,
