Following the inclusion of 3c4cd2c6a0e1795c837dd0cfb15db08a5d6694eb
"x86/mm: Take the p2m lock even in shadow mode." into 4.2, can I request
7f05d3ff7692574f40d0b337d767a216f347dcdb "x86/mm: avoid locked lookups
in shadow emulation" which fixes the performance regression introduced
by the former

I have had these running in our testing for several weeks now without
