I think the commit log needs to explain the use case in a clearer way. It's
about Async PF's performance, not migration. In Async PF, the page fault is
delivered in asynchronous way using worker. The page fault can be completed
before the injected SDEI event for page-not-present notification is delivered.
In this case, we needn't the overhead caused by the injected SDEI event.

I will think about it and may drop this patch from the series, to detach
SDEI and async PF as much as possible :)
