Well, it's the mm queue from Andrew, so I'm not surprised. That said,
I don't see why that particular one should matter.

Hmm. In your profiles, can you tell which caller of "flush_tlb_page()"
changed the most? The change from "mknnuma" to "prot_none" *should*
be 100% equivalent (both just change the page to be not-present, just
set different bits elsewhere in the pte), but clearly something
wasn't.

Oh. Except for that special "huge-zero-page" special case that got
dropped, but that got re-introduced in commit e944fd67b625.

There might be some other case where the new "just change the
protection" doesn't do the "oh, but it the protection didn't change,
don't bother flushing". I don't see it.
