This doesn't explain why the kernel would retrieve the jump table more than once,
e.g. at this point in the series, this can only ever be called once.

Not new, but I believe this can be tagged __init.

__init here too.

Does anything actually check that the jump table is valid for SMP guests?

Using '0' for "not valid" is funky because '0' isn't technically an illegal GPA,
and because it means the address (or lack thereof) isn't cached on a single-vCPU
guest.
