When we're using PR KVM we must not allow the CPU to take interrupts
in virtual mode, as the SLB does not contain host kernel mappings
when running inside the guest context.
To make sure we get good performance for non-KVM tasks but still
properly functioning PR KVM, let's just disable AIL whenever a vcpu
is scheduled in.
This patch fixes running PR KVM on POWER8 bare metal for me.
