(trying to think out loud, not sure there's a real issue):

When PV IPIs (or PV TLB flush) are enabled we do the following checks:

if (!hv_hypercall_pg)
return false;

or
if (!hv_hypercall_pg)
goto do_native;

which will pass as we're not invalidating the pointer. Can we actually
be sure that the kernel will never try to send an IPI/do TLB flush
before we resume?
