Heh, that's a rather interesting patch :)

I don't think it is directly related to the problem Colton encounters,
though the symptoms are similar. This crops up when KVM uses a stricter
permission set than the primary MMU, like lazy X for deferred I$
maintenance and write-protection for dirty logging. KVM policy led to
the stale TLB entry, so KVM is the one that needs to initiate the
invalidation.
