So that ends up with a full function call in the native case. I did
something like the below on top, completely untested, not been near a
compiler etc..

It doesn't get rid of the branch, but at least it avoids the function
call, and hardware should have no trouble predicting a constant
condition.

Also, it looks like you end up not setting vcpu_is_preempted when KVM
doesn't support steal clock, which would end up in an instant NULL
deref. Fixed that too.
