raise_softirq is not the same as actually doing it. Raise only sets a
bit indicating pending softirq. Before returning to the guest, the bin
triggers actual execution of the softirq
Andres
since "sti" is on, an interrupt can occur which can cause the
control to enter "__runq_tickle", which then invokes
"cpumask_raise_softirq(mask, SCHEDULE_SOFTIRQ)" to send IPI to a
processor causing the control to enter "__enter_scheduler" which
changes the current.
