This must come from here:

        while (vcpu->arch.state == KVMPPC_VCPU_RUNNABLE &&
               (vc->vcore_state == VCORE_RUNNING ||
                vc->vcore_state == VCORE_EXITING)) {
                spin_unlock(&vc->lock);
                kvmppc_wait_for_exec(vcpu, TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE);
                spin_lock(&vc->lock);
        }

        if (vcpu->arch.state == KVMPPC_VCPU_RUNNABLE) {
                kvmppc_remove_runnable(vc, vcpu);
                vcpu->stat.signal_exits++;
                kvm_run->exit_reason = KVM_EXIT_INTR;
                vcpu->arch.ret = -EINTR;
        }


if vc->vcore_state is VCORE_SLEEPING (I think it cannot be VCORE_STARTING)?
