AMD NPT is hosed because KVM's awful ASID scheme doesn't assign an ASID per root

I agree.

In the short term, I think something like the following would suffice.  Long term,
we really need to redo SVM ASID management so that ASIDs are tied to a KVM root.

Why not just new_asid (even unconditionally, who cares)?

BTW yeah, the smoke test worked but the actual one failed horribly.
