native_ versions of processor accessors shouldn't be used generally.

Also, the MSR isn't documented to fail on valid input, so you can use a normal wrmsrl() here.

Does this handle kexec?

+static void kvm_guest_cpu_notify(void *dummy)
+{

+		kvm_guest_cpu_init();
+	else
+		kvm_pv_disable_apf(NULL);
+}

Why are you making decisions based on a dummy input?

The whole thing looks strange.  Use two functions?

I have a truly marvellous patch that fixes the bug which this
