I don't know if we can reliably detect guest-initiated. Host-signal
initiated was easy because of the modification to a global variable.
But hopefully I'll find some easy common point, and maybe have to add
another global variable to track whether we went through that point (as
the reporting point is different than the request point).  At any rate,
this conversation is useful, to make sure I find the right place.
