I would have preferred to go in the opposite direction, since surely aren't going to have *many* of these implementations. Currently there's only one for register-based and one for queued invalidation, right? Even if VT-d 3.0 throws an extra version in, I think I'd prefer to take out the indirection completely and have an if/then helper. Would love to see a microbenchmark of unmap operations before and after this patch series with retpoline enabled, to see the effect.
