How much code is involved? It seems an unnecessary complication... Unless you can profile a difference, I would leave it in kvm_arch_vcpu_load()/kvm_arch_vcpu_put().
Note that sched_in and sched_out are not called once per invocation of KVM_RUN---only through the preempt notifiers. So I'm not sure it is enough to use sched_in and sched_out.
