No.  But what's wrong with on_vcpu?

intrinsically racy. signal passing slow down things, etc.

That said, as I've stated many times: I don't believe there's anything
fundamentally wrong with on_vcpu. But we might get benefits from a re-design
of things to avoid it whenever possible. (just like the vcpu_reset()
I've just posted)
