Indeed!

Unrelated to this patch, but it looks that we were comparing the value
of *vcpu_idx* and vcpu_id to skip the calling VCPU. Is there a rule in
KVM that userspace should invoke KVM_CREATE_VCPU with sequential
"vcpu id"s, starting at 0, so that the user-provided vcpu_id always
equals to the KVM-internal vcpu_idx for a given VCPU?

I asked because it seems that in kvm/arm64 we always use
kvm_get_vcpu(kvm, i) to obtain the kvm_vcpu pointer, even if *i* is
sometimes essentially provided by userspace..

Besides, the refactor itself looks good to me.

Thanks,
