This isn't correct, flush_tlb_current() flushes "host" TLB entries, i.e. guest-physical
mappings in Intel terminology, where flush_tlb_guest() and (IIUC) Hyper-V's paravirt
TLB flush both flesh "guest" TLB entries, i.e. linear and combined mappings.

Amusing side topic, apparently I like arm's stage-2 terminology better than "TDP",
because I actually typed out "stage-2" first.
