This series converts uniprocessor kernel builds to use the same TLB
flushing code as SMP builds, to take advantage of batching and existing
range- and ASID-based TLB flush optimizations. It optimizes out IPIs and
SBI calls based on the online CPU count, which also covers the scenario
where SMP was enabled at build time but only one CPU is present/online.
A final optimization is to use single-ASID flushes wherever possible, to
avoid unnecessary TLB misses for kernel mappings.

This series has a semantic conflict with the AIA patches that are in
linux-next due to the removal of the third parameter of
riscv_ipi_set_virq_range(), which is called from imsic_ipi_domain_init()
in drivers/irqchip/irq-riscv-imsic-early.c. The resolution is to remove
the extra argument from the call site.

Here are some numbers from D1 which show the performance impact:
