I think you have to make "ADI enabled" a property of the mm_struct.

Then you can broadcast to mm->cpu_vm_mask a per-cpu interrupt that
updates regs->tstate of a thread using 'mm' is currently executing.

And in the context switch code you set TSTATE_MCDE if it's not set
already.

That should cover all threaded case.
