It is not worth doing this kind of complex thing, usually, only a few pages on
the invalid list. The *really* heavily case is kvm_mmu_zap_all() which can be speeded
up by using generation number, this is a todo work in kvm wiki:

http://www.linux-kvm.org/page/TODO: O(1) mmu invalidation using a generation number

I am doing this work for some weeks and will post the patch out during these days.
