kvm: Clean up signal handling
KVM used to use two signals, one for instruction count exits and one for timer exits. There is really no need to distinguish between the two since they only trigger exits from KVM. This changeset unifies and renames the signals and adds a method, kick(), that can be used to raise the control signal in the vCPU thread. It also removes the early timer warning since we do not normally see if the signal was delivered. --HG-- extra : rebase_source : cd0e45ca90894c3d6f6aa115b9b06a1d8f0fda4d
