Let's just make it clearer:
* On the standard CR0/CR4/EFER modification paths, there are several
* complex conditions determining whether the MMU has to be reset and/or
* which PCIDs have to be flushed. However, CR0.WP and the paging-related
* bits in CR4 and EFER are irrelevant if CR0.PG was '0'; and a reset+flush
* is needed anyway if CR0.PG was '1' (which can only happen for INIT, as
* CR0 will be '0' prior to RESET). So we only need to check CR0.PG here.
