I'm far from convinced that this is a good idea. Setting policies on
individual VCPUs is giving the host admin a misleading illusion of
control over individual guest VCPUs. The problem is that QEMU has
many non-VCPU threads which consume non-trivial CPU time. CPU time
generated by a CPU in the guest, does not neccessarily map to a VCPU
thread in the host, but could instead go to a I/O thread or a display
thread, etc.

IMHO we should only be doing controls at the whole VM level here.
