Would be good to do a bound check on length of memcpy I think (in case 
vcpu_run_resp->state_data[1] is wrong for example).

Can we move this to VM_START ioctl and avoid this check in fast path? In case VM
is not started, then I think gh_hypercall_vcpu_run() will fail which can catch
erroneous use of VCPU_RUN w/o a preceding VM_START. Alternately we could use a
flag in vcpu struct to check for this case (similar to test for vcpu->rsc
below).

I think we should end this wait in case immediate_exit is set as well.

We should avoid get_page in case page is NULL.

We should poke the vcpu thread as well so that it can notice this.
Otherwise it can continue to be in gh_hypercall_vcpu_run() or
wait_for_completion_interruptible() for longer time to come.

We should test for this feature before registering the function? What's
the point in registering a function otherwise if it can't do its work!
