No.  The memory API is designed to be fast on reads at the expense of
being slow on writes, and this will get worse as rcu is added.

I meant that the various calls to invalidate tcg-specific caches can use
a tcg-specific MemoryListener.

How?  That's in a hardware defined format that's completely invisible to
the memory API.
