In the next version I switch to fifo and get rid of 'flush_all' entries
but instead of a boolean I use a 'magic' value of '-1' in GVA. This way
we don't need to synchronize with the reader and add any special
handling for the flag.

Note, in the future we may get back to having flags as part of entries
as it is now possible to analize guest's CR3. We'll likely add
'AddressSpace' to each entry. The 'flush all' entry, however, will
always remain 'special' to handle ring overflow case.
