Unrelated to this patch:

If vcpu->mode = OUTSIDE_GUEST_MODE, no IPI is sent
by kvm_flush_remote_tlbs.

So how is this supposed to work again?

        /*
         * Wait for all vcpus to exit guest mode and/or lockless shadow
         * page table walks.
         */
        kvm_flush_remote_tlbs(kvm);

Patch looks fine.
