This comment does not make sense. flush_tlb_others() return type is
void.
I suspect that is an artifact from before the static_key; an attempt to
make the pv interface less awkward.
Yes, remainders that should have been removed - I will remove them for the
next version.

Something like the below would work for KVM I suspect, the others
(Hyper-V and Xen are more 'interesting').

That’s what I have as well ;-).

As you mentioned (in another email), specifically hyper-v code seems
convoluted to me. In general, I prefer not to touch KVM/Xen/hyper-v, but you
twist my arm, I will send a compile-tested version for Xen and hyper-v.
