No. No no no.

Didn't you learn *anything* from the bug?

You cannot replace "mmu_notifier_invalidate_page()" with
"mmu_notifier_invalidate_range()".

KVM implements mmu_notifier_invalidate_page().

IT DOES NOT IMPLEMENT THAT RANGE CRAP AT ALL.

So any approach like this is fundamentally garbage. Really. Stop
sending crap. This is exactly tehe same thing that we already reverted
because it was broken shit. Why do you re-send it without actually
fixing the fundamental problems that were pointed out?
