Subject[PATCH v10 9/9] x86/tlb: do flush_tlb_kernel_range by 'invlpg'
Date
This patch do flush_tlb_kernel_range by 'invlpg'. The performance pay
and gain was analyzed in previous patch
(x86/flush_tlb: try flush_tlb_single one by one in flush_tlb_range).

In the testing: http://lkml.org/lkml/2012/6/21/10

The pay is mostly covered by long kernel path, but the gain is still
quite clear, memory access in user APP can increase 30+% when kernel
execute this funtion.
