An alternate fix for #1866 without touching can_do_io, and is
perhaps a bit cleaner and clearer.

Instead, the current cpu checks whether an address space update
is required on each entry to the slow path.  This certainly
catches all i/o.  It easily works for the sequential case of
two i/o, the first of which changes the address space and the
second of which requires the new address space.

I've done a tiny bit of performance testing between the two
solutions and it seems to be a wash.  So now it's simply a
matter of cleanliness.

Ho hum, this doesn't fix the x86_64 ovmf issue also quoted in #1866.
