Some guest device driver may leverage the "Non-Snoop" I/O, and explicitly

CLFLUSH, we need to maintain data consistency either by:
1: flushing cache (wbinvd) when the guest is scheduled out if there is no
wbinvd exit, or
2: execute wbinvd on all dirty physical CPUs when guest wbinvd exits.

Why check for has_wbinvd_exit()?  If it's false, we don't get here anyway.

If !need_emulate_wbinvd(), why call wbinvd()?

Better place is kvm_arch_vcpu_init().
