Maybe that is the solution?  We allocated a s/w (VMM) bit in
ARCH_CAPABILITIES for the TLB DoS issue for the nested hypervisor case.
Should we do that again for this issue?

If you think so, then we can take this discussion to Keybase so
that the other VMM vendors who hang out there can chime in.

[Note that it isn't my call to allocate a bit in ARCH_CAPABILITIES,
but I can campaign for it if folks want it].
