[Xen-devel] [PATCH 1/4] x86: suppress XPTI-related TLB flushes when possible

["Jan Beulich" <JBeulich@xxxxxxxx>]

When there's no XPTI-enabled PV domain at all, there's no need to issue
respective TLB flushes. Hardwire opt_xpti_* to false when !PV, and
record the creation of PV domains by bumping opt_xpti_* accordingly.

Signed-off-by: Jan Beulich <jbeulich@xxxxxxxx>
---
TBD: The hardwiring to false could be extended to opt_pv_l1tf_* and (for
     !HVM) opt_l1d_flush as well.
