What I especially don't like of the function right now, is that by looking at the prototype, and at least at some of the call sites, it feels like it is possible to insert a vCPU v in the runqueue of an arbitrary pCPU, while that must always happens in v->processor's runqueue. That is why I'd like to be able to remove that cpu argument. Perhaps avoiding inlining can really be considered? Looking at history, the function was shorter and called less times when originally developed and marked as such. I'm not sure that's still a good thing...
