This opens the path to get rid of the iothread lock on vmexits in KVM
mode. On x86, the in-kernel irqchips has to be used because we otherwise
need to synchronize APIC and other per-cpu state accesses that could be
changed concurrently.
Regarding pre/post-run callbacks, s390x and ARM should be fine without
specific locking as the callbacks are empty. MIPS and POWER require
locking for the pre-run callback.
For the handle_exit callback, it is non-empty in x86, POWER and s390.
Some POWER cases could do without the locking, but it is left in
place for now.
