UP guest usually uses TLB instruction to flush only on the local CPU. The
TLB flush won't be broadcasted across all the CPUs within the same
innershareable domain.
When the vCPU is migrated between different CPUs, it may be rescheduled
to a previous CPU where the TLB has not been flushed. The TLB may
contain stale entries which will result to translate incorrectly a VA to
IPA or even cause TLB conflicts.
To avoid a such situation, always set HCR_EL2.FB which will force the
broadcast of TLB and instruction cache maintenance instructions.

I presume this needs an Release-Ack ?
That's right. I would also like to have an acked-by/reviewed-by from
Stefano as he was concerned about the performance impact of this patch.
Cheers,
