else, we get memory corruption on reboot; found when tracking down initramfs unpack error on initial reboot (with qemu-kvm -smp 2, no problem with single-core).
problem with doing it via kvm_shutdown() is that this file depends on CONFIG_KVM_CLOCK, also its not enough to call it for one cpu only.

In any case, this seems to fix the initramfs corruption for me. patch is against virt/kvm/kvm.git.
