Jeremy, have you considered (and tested) KVM when doing the MMU/CPU 
notifier changes? It's these changes:

224101e: x86/paravirt: finish change from lazy cpu to context switch start/end
b407fc5: x86/paravirt: flush pending mmu updates on context switch
7fd7d83: x86/pvops: replace arch_enter_lazy_cpu_mode with arch_start_context_switch
