[RFC Patch 2/3] KVM: Add tlb remote flush callback in kvm_x86_ops.

From: Tianyu Lan
Date: Mon Jun 04 2018 - 05:09:43 EST


This patch is to provide a way for platforms to register tlb remote flush
callback and this helps to optimize operation of tlb flush among vcpus for
nested virtualization case.
