Vaguely related...makes sense to do native_(read/write)_cr4 since it's
the native tlb flushing implementation, no?

looks ok from inspection, not tested yet...

Subject: [PATCH] x86: use native register access for native tlb flushing

this (no pv_ops backends are using native_tlb and overriding cr3/4
access).
