/*
* Bring down a VCPU (i.e., make it non-runnable).
* There are a few caveats that callers should observe:
* 1. This operation may return, and VCPU_is_up may return false, before the
* VCPU stops running (i.e., the command is asynchronous). It is a good
* idea to ensure that the VCPU has entered a non-critical loop before
* bringing it down. Alternatively, this operation is guaranteed
* synchronous if invoked by the VCPU itself.
* 2. After a VCPU is initialised, there is currently no way to drop all its
* references to domain memory. Even a VCPU that is down still holds
* memory references via its pagetable base pointer and GDT. It is good
* practise to move a VCPU onto an 'idle' or default page table, LDT and
* GDT before bringing it down.
