We can have a race condition between qemu_cpu_kick_thread() and qemu_kvm_cpu_thread_fn() when we hotunplug a CPU. In this case, qemu_cpu_kick_thread() can try to kick a thread that is exiting. pthread_kill() returns an error and qemu is stopped by an exit(1).
qemu:qemu_cpu_kick_thread: No such process We can ignore safely this error.
