Can you please measure increased vmentry/vmexit overhead? x86/vmexit.c
of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/virt/kvm/kvm-unit-tests.git should
help.

So flush_tlb_page which was an invlpg now flushes the entire TLB. Did
you take that into account?

Should use ACCESS_ONCE to make sure the value is not register cached.

Is this necessary in addition to the in-guest-mode/out-guest-mode
detection? If so, why?
