The other thing I don't like about having the WARN in the loop is that it suggests

Yeah, I can agree with that. Can you add it in a comment above the cmpxchg
loop, it can be as simple as
/* The processor can set ON concurrently. */
when you respin patch 21 and the rest of the series?
I can definitely add a comment, but I think that comment is incorrect.
It's completely backwards indeed. I first had "the hardware" and then
shut down my brain for a second to replace it.
So something like this?
/* ON can be set concurrently by a different vCPU or by hardware. */
Yes, of course.
