Be careful here. According to the SDM when invalidating a huge-page,
each 4KB page needs to be invalidated separately. In practice, when
Linux invalidates 2MB/1GB pages it performs a full TLB flush. The
full flush may not be required on knights landing, and specifically
for the workaround, but you should check.

Nadav
