yeah vfio is still broken for the case I care about. I think there's

IIRC kvm doesn't either.

Yep, KVM on x86 has a non-trivial number of flows that don't properly hook into
the mmu_notifier. Paolo is working on fixing the problem, but I believe the
rework won't be ready until 5.14.

Yeah, I like the way it's coming, but I'm at 20-ish patches and counting.
