For a moment I felt like I was time traveling - back in '08. :)

Reading the archive I noticed that someone posted a fix-up for this patch:

http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.emulators.kvm.devel/16931

Why don't we need this anymore?

Moreover, are we sure to not regress /wrt to the cases that shall be
handled serially? So far they should have triggered the WARN_ON, right?
But maybe that went through unnoticed, and the guest was simply happy to
not have triggered a triple fault...
