TBH, we discussed on list before that there may not be much value in closing
the above mentioned windows. We already knew there are a few windows open
like that. Thomas Glexiner told us that the solution does not need to be 100%
as long as it closes most windows and is performant -- the important thing
being to disrupt the attacker than making it 100% attack proof. And keeping
the code simple.

Maybe. But are you doing everything this patch does, when you enter ASI lock
down?
Basically, we want to only send IPIs if needed and we track the "core wide"
entry into the kernel to make sure we do the sligthly higher overhead things
once per "core wide" entry and exit. For some pictures, check these slides
from slide 15:
https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1VzeQo3AyGTN35DJ3LKoPWBfiZHZJiF8q0NrX9eVYG70/edit#slide=id.g91cff3980b_0_7

As for switching page tables, I am not sure if that is all that's needed to
close the windows you mentioned, because MDS attacks are independent of page
table entries, they leak the uarch buffers. So you really have to isolate
things in the time domain as this patch does.

We discussed with Thomas and Dario in previous list emails that maybe this
patch can be used as a subset of ASI work as a "utility", the implement the
stunning.

Sure, thanks.
