It recently became apparent that the ARMv8 architecture has interesting
rules regarding attributes being used when fetching instructions
if the MMU is off at Stage-1.
In this situation, the CPU is allowed to fetch from the PoC and
allocate into the I-cache (unless the memory is mapped with
the XN attribute at Stage-2).
If we transpose this to vcpus sharing a single physical CPU,
it is possible for a vcpu running with its MMU off to influence
another vcpu running with its MMU on, as the latter is expected to
fetch from the PoU (and self-patching code doesn't flush below that
level).
In order to solve this, reuse the vcpu-private TLB invalidation
code to apply the same policy to the I-cache, nuking it every time
the vcpu runs on a physical CPU that ran another vcpu of the same
VM in the past.
This involve renaming __kvm_tlb_flush_local_vmid() to
__kvm_flush_cpu_context(), and inserting a local i-cache invalidation
there.
