Sure, will merge.

This, however, made me think there's room for optimization here. In some
cases, when both KVM_REQ_TLB_FLUSH_CURRENT and KVM_REQ_TLB_FLUSH_GUEST
were requested, there's no need to flush twice, e.g. on SVM
.flush_tlb_current == .flush_tlb_guest. I'll probably not go into this
territory with this series as it's already fairly big, just something
for the future.
