My idea was that flushing individual GVAs is always 'less intrusive'
than flushing the whole address space which counts as '1' in
'stat.tlb_flush'. Yes, 'flush 1 GVA' is equal to 'flush 64k' but on the
other hand if we do the math yor way we get:
- flush the whole address space: "stat.tlb_flush" is incremented by '1'.
- flush 100 indivudual GVAs: "stat.tlb_flush" is incremented by '100'.

What if we instead give 'stat.tlb_flush' the following meaning here:
"how many indivudual TLB flush requests were submitted", i.e.:

         for (i = read_idx; i != write_idx; i = (i + 1) % KVM_HV_TLB_FLUSH_RING_SIZE) {
                 address = tlb_flush_ring->entries[i] & PAGE_MASK;
                 count = (tlb_flush_ring->entries[i] & ~PAGE_MASK) + 1;
                 for (j = 0; j < count; j++)
                         static_call(kvm_x86_flush_tlb_gva)(vcpu, address + j * PAGE_SIZE);
                 ++vcpu->stat.invlpg;
          }

(something in between what I have now and what you suggest). What do you think?
