Hmm, yea. That is probably worth an update. I'll change it for when I post
another version of this patch.

I was imaging this series might go up ahead of the rest of the MMU prep stuff.
In which case I can just post a new version of this patch on top of kvm-coco-
queue once this series appears in the base of that branch. Assuming there is no
problems with that, I won't post a v2 right away.
