Hello,

SVM code doesn't use the INVLPGA instruction, but rather invalidate the 
whole ASID when invalidating a guest page.

INVLPG exit is enabled only on shadow code, which is smart enough to 
handle corner cases like splintered pagetables invlpg's.

Is this a workaround for some buggy hardware? Is there any problem in 
enabling the INVLPGA instruction?

Thanks,
Gianluca
