TLB refill time is also different on different kind of cpu.

BTW,
A bewitching idea is till attracting me.

Even it was sentenced to death by HPA.

That is that just flush one of thread TLB is enough for SMT/HT, seems
TLB is still shared in core on Intel CPU. This benefit is unconditional,
and if my memory right, Kbuild testing can improve about 1~2% in average
level.

So could you like to accept some ugly quirks to do this lazy TLB flush
on known working CPU?
Forgive me if it's stupid.
