[Xen-devel] [PATCH RFC 08/44] x86/pv: Avoid an opencoded mov to %cr3 in toggle_guest_mode()



Xen will need to track which %cr3 it is running on.  Propagate a
tlb_maintenance parameter down into write_ptbase(), so toggle_guest_mode() can
retain its optimisation of not flushing global mappings and not ticking the
TLB clock.
