If 'oos_shadow' == 0, intercepting invlpg command is really

And it's good for us to compare the performance between enable
'oos_shadow'
and disable 'oos_shadow'

Please rename to kvm_oos_shadow to reduce potential for conflict with
other global names.

But really, this is a debug option, I don't expect people to run with
oos_shadow=0, so there's not much motivation to optimize it.
Agreed, but, 'oos_shadow' option is document in Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt,
if it's just a debug option, i think we do better not document it.

It has to be documented, otherwise people complain :)

Anyway the variable name and the option name don't have to be the same (I think).
