Don't we always force enable snooping? Or is that only for the
processor, and you're worried about devices?
1: flushing cache (wbinvd) when the guest is scheduled out if there is no
wbinvd exit, or
2: execute wbinvd on all dirty physical CPUs when guest wbinvd exits.

Need alloc_cpumask_var()/free_cpumask_var() for very large hosts.

Like Jan mentioned, this is quite heavy. What about a clflush() loop
instead? That may take more time, but at least it's preemptible. Of
course, it isn't preemptible in an IPI.

Is there any point to doing this if !has_wbinvd_exit()? The vcpu might
not have migrated in time, so the cache is flushed too late.

Race - a migration may set a new bit in wbinvd_dirty_mask after the
s_c_f_m().
However, it's probably benign, since we won't be entering the guest in
that period.

I have a truly marvellous patch that fixes the bug which this
signature is too narrow to contain.
