[Xen-devel] [PATCH 5/5] svm: implement INVLPG part of DecodeAssist

Newer SVM implementations (Bulldozer) give the desired address on
a INVLPG intercept explicitly in the EXITINFO1 field of the VMCB.
Use this address to avoid a costly instruction fetch and deocde
cycle.
Only useful with shadow paging.
