RE: [PATCH v5 2/7] hyperv: SVM enlightened TLB flush support flag

Bit 22 of HYPERV_CPUID_FEATURES.EDX is specific to SVM and specifies
support for enlightened TLB flush. With this enlightenment enabled,
ASID invalidations flushes only gva->hpa entries. To flush TLB entries
derived from NPT, hypercalls should be used
Nit:  Isn't this "must be used"?  "Should be used" sounds slightly optional,
and I don't think that's the case.
