I think that for ASID!=0 you can actually do nothing. The guest entry
is a cr3 switch, so we'll both get a tlb flush and a resync on any

For ASID==0 you can do the invlpg thing.
Marcelo?
kvm_mmu_invlpg is cheap, better just invalidate the entry. If hyper-v
uses invlpga to invalidate TLB entries which it has updated pte's in
memory for, and you skip the invalidation now and somehow later use an
unsync spte, you're toast.
But won't the guest entry cause a resync?
Doing nothing is even cheaper.
