Agreed in most cases, but the path this patch modified is not? E.g. it happens in rare cases where we simply want to unmap everything (e.g. on a system reset, or invalid context entry)? That's also why I'm curious whether perf of this path matters at all (and assuming now we all agree that's the only goal now..), because afaiu it didn't really trigger in common paths. -- Peter Xu
