Good point, when using SVM these flushes could result
in flushing more TLB entries than we really want.

On the flip side, when SVM is not initialized, the
invlpgb instruction will fail with a general protection
fault if we have anything at all in the ASID field.

I don't know whether setting the ASID valid bit in
rAX will cause a system to crash when SVM is not
enabled or initialized.
