I've already got some patches to add things like local_flush_tlb_all,
which I'll post after the merge window (I'm currently rewriting a bunch
of the switch_mm code to try to reduce the TLBI traffic).

If this isn't a hotpath (I don't think it is), then it's probably not
worth making the optimisation without a system to benchmark it on.
