The sequence of instructions exposes an issue:
sti
hlt
Interrupts cannot be delivered to hvf after hlt instruction cpu because
HF_INHIBIT_IRQ_MASK is set just before hlt is handled and never reset
after moving instruction pointer beyond hlt.
So, after hvf_vcpu_exec() returns, CPU thread gets locked up forever in
qemu_wait_io_event() (cpu_thread_is_idle() evaluates inhibition
flag and considers the CPU idle if the flag is set).
