    vkernel - Fix FP corruption from preemptive thread switch
    
    * Recent work on the vkernel enabled preemptive interrupt thread switching.
      This introduced a race where the floating point state could change
      out from under the vkernel's go_user() function, causing the FP state
      in the virtual user process to become corrupt.
    
    * Fixed by introducing a critical section which essentially defers any
      preemptive thread switches inside go_user().
