Explicitly track the EPTP that is common to all vCPUs instead of grabbing vCPU0's EPTP when invoking Hyper-V's paravirt TLB flush. Tracking the EPTP will allow optimizing the checks when loading a new EPTP and will also allow dropping ept_pointer_match, e.g. by marking the common EPTP as invalid. This also technically fixes a bug where KVM could theoretically flush an invalid GPA if all vCPUs have an invalid root. In practice, it's likely impossible to trigger a remote TLB flush in such a scenario. In any case, the superfluous flush is completely benign.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
