From: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

When running a multi-threaded guest and vcpu 0 in a virtual core
is not running in the guest (i.e. it is busy elsewhere in the host),
thread 0 of the physical core will switch the MMU to the guest and
then go to nap mode in the code at kvm_do_nap.  If the guest sends
an IPI to thread 0 using the msgsndp instruction, that will wake
up thread 0 and cause all the threads in the guest to exit to the
host unnecessarily.  To avoid the unnecessary exit, this arranges
for the PECEDP bit to be cleared in this situation.  When napping
due to a H_CEDE from the guest, we still set PECEDP so that the
thread will wake up on an IPI sent using msgsndp.
