Oh, yeah, that's this snippet of my pseudo patch, but I didn't provide the
kvm_service_pending_tlb_flush_on_nested_transition() implementation so it's not
exactly obvious what I intended.  The current code handles CURRENT, but not GUEST,
the idea is to shove those into a helper that can be shared between nVMX and nSVM.

And I believe the "flush" also needs to service KVM_REQ_MMU_SYNC.  For L1=>L2 it
should be irrelevant/impossible, since L1 can only be unsync if L1 and L2 share
an MMU, but the L2=>L1 path could result in a lost sync if something, e.g. an IRQ,
prompted a nested VM-Exit before re-entering L2.

Let me know if I misunderstood your comment.  Thanks!
