[PATCH 5/5] x86/HVM: limit cache writeback overhead

[Jan Beulich <jbeulich@xxxxxxxx>]

There's no need to write back caches on all CPUs upon seeing a WBINVD
exit; ones that a vCPU hasn't run on since the last writeback (or since
it was started) can't hold data which may need writing back.

With us not running AMD IOMMUs in non-coherent ways, I wonder whether
svm_wbinvd_intercept() really needs to do anything (or whether it
couldn't check iommu_snoop just like VMX does, knowing that as of
c609108b2190 ["x86/shadow: make iommu_snoop usage consistent with
HAP's"] that's always set; this would largely serve as grep fodder then,
to make sure this code is updated once / when we do away with this
global variable, and it would be the penultimate step to being able to
fold SVM's and VT-x'es functions).
