Please make the !0 change in a separate patch. It took me a while to connect the
dots, and to also understand what I suspect is a major motivation: sync_spte()
already has this check, i.e. the change is happening regardless, so might as well
avoid the indirect branch.

Why open code kvm_flush_remote_tlbs_sptep()? Does it actually shave enough
cycles to be visible?
If open coding is really justified, can you rebase on one of the two branches?
And then change this to kvm_flush_remote_tlbs_gfn().
