It looks like kvm_available_flush_remote_tlbs_range() is not checked in many of
the paths that get to x86_ops.flush_remote_tlbs_range().

So maybe something like:

Regarding the kvm_gfn_direct_mask() usage, in the current WIP code we have
renamed things around the concepts of "mirrored roots" and "direct masks". The
mirrored root, just means "also go off an update something else" (S-EPT). The
direct mask, just means when on the direct root, shift the actual page table
mapping using the mask (shared memory). Kai raised that all TDX special stuff in
the x86 MMU around handling private memory is confusing from the SEV
perspective, so we were trying to rename those things to something related, but
generic instead of "private".

So the TLB flush confusion is more about that the direct GFNs are shifted by
something (i.e. kvm_gfn_direct_mask() returns non-zero).
