My point is this patch doesn't share enough. If you do need to issue
invalidations then share everything below the top level tlbi entry
point and don't try to make a pkvm version of the entire logic just by
ripping out the range logic.
There is no reason for pkvm to need a different algorithm
here. Especially when you get to supporting ATS and multiple devices
and smmus you may as well just use the whole thing.
Which is why I suggested to copy the entire call chain into a shared
file
