I would strongly suggest keeping singleton operations do single-DFN flushes.

This one line is part of a path which you can't bypass as far as flushing
is concerned. In this regard the description is also slightly misleading:
It's not just "at the end of the hypercall" when flushing needs doing,
but also on every preemption.

Not sure how important it is to retain performance upon errors: Strictly
speaking there's no need to flush when i == 0 and rc != 0.
