The whole TLB broadcast vs explicit IPIs is a fairly big difference in
my book.

Anyway, have you guys tried the explicit IPI approach? Depending on how
IPIs are routed vs broadcasts it might save a little bus traffic. No
point in getting all CPUs to process the TLBI when there's only a hand
full that really need it.

OTOH, I suppose the broadcast thing has been optimized to death on the
hardware side, so who knows..
