Seems reasonable until we can get the MMIO based optimisation in.

Will all CAPI cached translations be invalidated before we finish using
a CAPI context? And conversely, could CAPI cache any translations when a
context isn't active? I'm mostly concerned that we can't have a
situation where badly behaving userspace could result in a stale
translation.

Should we combine the SPU vs CXL callouts into something common -
perhaps copro_flush_all_slbs()?
