Returns the number of CPUs to which the IPIs were delivered successfully.

+7. KVM_HC_SCHED_YIELD
+------------------------
+Architecture: x86
+Status: active
+Purpose: Hypercall used to yield if the IPI target vCPU is preempted
+
+a0: destination APIC ID
+
+Usage example: When sending a call-function IPI-many to vCPUs, yield if
+any of the IPI target vCPUs was preempted.
