Subject: [PATCH] [15/40] i386: add flush_tlb_others paravirt_op


From: Jeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy@...p.org>
This patch adds a pv_op for flush_tlb_others.  Linux running on native
hardware uses cross-CPU IPIs to flush the TLB on any CPU which may
have a particular mm's pagetable entries cached in its TLB.  This is
inefficient in a paravirtualized environment, since the hypervisor
knows which real CPUs actually contain cached mappings, which may be a
small subset of a guest's VCPUs.
