CPU based page table updates are not supported under SRIOV.

Ah! My assumption was that you will also always have a VM page table job 
which would be canceled.

But that isn't the case, instead you have only a context which is 
re-created.

In that case the approach here is valid, but let me comment on the patch 
itself.

Christian.
