This will be used by the in-kernel MPIC to update its per-vcpu data
structures, and other vcpu init actions may benefit from migrating to
this over fixed initialization.

The notifier itself is kept in the non-arch-specific struct, and
initialized from non-arch-specific code.  I was hoping to make the
entire mechanism non-arch-specific, but vm and vcpu destruction is too
arch-specific for that to happen yet -- there's no hook in
non-arch-code for per-vcpu destruction.  Even just adding it to all
current architectures made me hesitate, as I lack confidence in
understanding what is going on on x86 (why are kvm_arch_vcpu_free and
kvm_arch_vcpu_destroy so different?).
