Scattered across the archs are 3 basic forms of tlb_{start,end}_vma().
Provide two new MMU_GATHER_knobs to enumerate them and remove the per
arch tlb_{start,end}_vma() implementations.
- MMU_GATHER_NO_FLUSH_CACHE indicates the arch has flush_cache_range()
but does *NOT* want to call it for each VMA.
- MMU_GATHER_MERGE_VMAS indicates the arch wants to merge the
invalidate across multiple VMAs if possible.
With these it is possible to capture the three forms:
1) empty stubs;
select MMU_GATHER_NO_FLUSH_CACHE and MMU_GATHER_MERGE_VMAS
2) start: flush_cache_range(), end: empty;
select MMU_GATHER_MERGE_VMAS
3) start: flush_cache_range(), end: flush_tlb_range();
default
Obviously, if the architecture does not have flush_cache_range() then
it also doesn't need to select MMU_GATHER_NO_FLUSH_CACHE.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
