This has been disabled already in guest code, but I don't see a particular reason to deprecate it in the host too. Supporting it on the host is just one line of code; if it's a problem *for the guest*, you just don't use KVM_ASYNC_PF_SEND_ALWAYS. Also, note that #VE will always be delivered to the guest even at CPL0; the decision on whether to do sync or async page fault at CPL0 will move to the guest, but enabling #VE will probably _require_ the KVM_ASYNC_PF_SEND_ALWAYS bit to be set (and KVM_ASYNC_PF_DELIVERY_AS_INT as well).
