I've always thought the best long-term "optimization" on these cores is
to share in the host PID allocation (i.e. __init_new_context()). This
way, the TID in guest mappings would not overlap the TID in host
mappings, and guest mappings could be demand-faulted rather than swapped
wholesale. To do that, you would need to track the host PID in KVM data
structures, I guess in the tlbe_ref structure.
