56 * 1. This operation may return, and VCPU_is_up may return false, before the
57 * VCPU stops running (i.e., the command is asynchronous). It is a good
58 * idea to ensure that the VCPU has entered a non-critical loop before
59 * bringing it down. Alternatively, this operation is guaranteed
60 * synchronous if invoked by the VCPU itself.
61 * 2. After a VCPU is initialised, there is currently no way to drop all its
62 * references to domain memory. Even a VCPU that is down still holds
63 * memory references via its pagetable base pointer and GDT. It is good
64 * practise to move a VCPU onto an 'idle' or default page table, LDT and
65 * GDT before bringing it down.
