    kaiser: asm/tlbflush.h handle noPGE at lower level · 0651b3ad

    I found asm/tlbflush.h too twisty, and think it safer not to avoid
    __native_flush_tlb_global_irq_disabled() in the kaiser_enabled case,
    but instead let it handle kaiser_enabled along with cr3: it can just
    use __native_flush_tlb() for that, no harm in re-disabling preemption.
    
    (This is not the same change as Kirill and Dave have suggested for
    upstream, flipping PGE in cr4: that's neat, but needs a cpu_has_pge
    check; cr3 is enough for kaiser, and thought to be cheaper than cr4.)
    
    Also delete the X86_FEATURE_INVPCID invpcid_flush_all_nonglobals()
    preference from __native_flush_tlb(): unlike the invpcid_flush_all()
    preference in __native_flush_tlb_global(), it's not seen in upstream
    4.14, and was recently reported to be surprisingly slow.
