This is the start of some performance and security-hardening improvements, based on the fact that 32bit PV guests are few and far between these days. Ring1 is full of architectural corner cases, such as counting as supervisor from a paging point of view. This accounts for a substantial performance hit on processors from the last 8 years (adjusting SMEP/SMAP on every privilege transition), and the gap is only going to get bigger with new hardware features.
