asm-generic/tlb: Track which levels of the page tables have been cleared It is common for architectures with hugepage support to require only a single TLB invalidation operation per hugepage during unmap(), rather than iterating through the mapping at a PAGE_SIZE increment. Currently, however, the level in the page table where the unmap() operation occurs is not stored in the mmu_gather structure, therefore forcing architectures to issue additional TLB invalidation operations or to give up and over-invalidate by e.g. invalidating the entire TLB. Ideally, we could add an interval rbtree to the mmu_gather structure, which would allow us to associate the correct mapping granule with the various sub-mappings within the range being invalidated. However, this is costly in terms of book-keeping and memory management, so instead we approximate by keeping track of the page table levels that are cleared and provide a means to query the smallest granule required for invalidation.
