Ha, it depends on how we define "observable effects" :-)

I think kvm_vcpu_kick() is enough as the corresponding vCPU can't
actually observe old mapping after being kicked (even if we didn't flush
yet we're not running). Or do you see any possible problem with such
definition?

True, it is only for 'input'. Will drop.

Sure. I skimmed through the spec and didn't find any direct reference
that specifying 'rep' bit for non-rep hypercalls is forbidden but this
is definitely a guest bug if it does that. 

Thanks for the review!
