Can you first show that:

preempt_out:
int cpu = smp_processor_id();
if (vcpu->cpu != cpu)
vcpu->cpu = cpu;

preempt_in:
int cpu = smp_processor_id();
if (unlikely(vcpu->cpu != cpu))
do_vcpu_migration_callback(cpu);

Is actually a measurable performance hit and we actually _need_ the
migration callback?

Also, it looks like you already do exactly this for other things, look
at:

kvm_sched_in()
kvm_arch_vcpu_load()
if (unlikely(vcpu->cpu != cpu) ... )

So no, I don't believe for one second you need this.
