Not sure myself what's the right thing to do but this may be undesirable
in a nested environment. Assuming the processor supports global invalidation
only, this seems like a easy way for the nested guest to invalidate *all*
mappings - even the L1 specific mappings.

Indeed, however, there's no easy way to handle the w/o single 
invalidation case, we can improve it if you have any idea, otherwise, it 
can be left to further optimization. :-)

It's not a great thing but it's already what happens if you do a global
INVEPT (it calls vmx_flush_tlb, which results in a global INVVPID if the
single-context variant is not supported).

Even without nested virt a single guest could slow down all other guests
just by triggering frequent TLB flushes (e.g. by moving around a ROM BAR
thousands of times per second).

It would help to know _which_ processors actually don't support
single-context INVVPIDs...
