-	 * redundant flushes further down the nested pipeline.
-	 *
-	 * If a TLB flush isn't required due to any of the above, and vpid12 is
-	 * changing then the new "virtual" VPID (vpid12) will reuse the same
-	 * "real" VPID (vpid02), and so needs to be flushed.  There's no direct
-	 * mapping between vpid02 and vpid12, vpid02 is per-vCPU and reused for
-	 * all nested vCPUs.  Remember, a flush on VM-Enter does not invalidate
-	 * guest-physical mappings, so there is no need to sync the nEPT MMU.
+	 * VPID is enabled and in use by vmcs12.  If vpid12 is changing, then
+	 * emulate a guest TLB flush as KVM does not track vpid12 history nor
+	 * is the VPID incorporated into the MMU context.  I.e. KVM must assume
+	 * that the new vpid12 has never been used and thus represents a new
+	 * guest ASID that cannot have entries in the TLB.
