Following a long discussion with Tim, it appears that despite the AMD
codepath being changed, there appear to be no relevant side effects as a
result, which reduces my main concern with the series.
However, in the process we identified more areas which need a cache flush.
vmx_ctxt_switch_from() needs a wbinvd() for the case where we service a
vmexit but get descheduled before returning. There are also the
previously indicated areas which also need more cache invalidation.
There is also a wider problem with cached mappings from dom0, which are
identified but not introduced by this series. Fixing this is still an
oustanding problem, with no sensible solution being apparent.
