Optimize TLB invalidation by using different ASID for each set of
pgtables. There can be scenarios where multiple processes end up
with the same ASID (such as >256 processes using the GPU), but this
is harmless, it will only result in some over-invalidation (but
less over-invalidation compared to using ASID=0 for all processes)

Um, if you're still relying on the GPU doing an invalidate-all-by-ASID whenever it switches a TTBR, then there's only ever one ASID live in the TLBs at once, so it really doesn't matter whether its value stays the same or changes. This seems like a whole chunk of complexity to achieve nothing :/

If you could actually use multiple ASIDs in a meaningful way to avoid any invalidations, you'd need to do considerably more work to keep track of reuse, and those races would probably be a lot less benign.
