We need "a way" to check if the per thread MSR has a valid PASID. If yes,
no need to fix up the MSR (wrmsr()), and let other handler to handle the #GP.
Otherwise, apply the heuristics and fix up the MSR and exit the #GP.
The way to check the valid PASID in the MSR is rdmsr() in this series.
A TIF flag will be much faster than rdmsr() and seems a sutiable way
to check valid PASID status per thread. That's why it could replace
rdmsr() to check PASID in the MSR.
Or do you suggest to add a random new flag in struct thread_info instead
of a TIF flag?
Thanks.
