Haha, no problem. I'll change it to vcpu_pthread.

The upcoming patch, which introduces multiple-vcpus, moves
migrate_date into a global array (one element per-vCPU). That patch
passes only the vcpu index as an arg to migrate_vcpu().
I originally thought we would embed more stuff into migrate_data, and
passed this. But I guess I can just pass pthread_t.

I'm not familiar with tasksets, but if you feel the current approach
could cause problems, I'll switch to your suggestion. Thanks.

I suppose it should be fine calling from the current thread (unless
I'm forgetting a reason why I had a similar behavior in arch_timer
test).
Thank you.
