This code was added about one year ago, the purpose is definitely to improve
IDE performance. I don't have the performance data.
We can image,
If dom0 and hvm domain are running on different CPU,
It will improve parallel of hvm domain and qemu IDE device.

Maybe we can let performance data to decide this.

I prefer atomic access, we used it in shared PIC.
If each thread flush multicall seperately,
There are some extra hypercalls.
