This really shouldn't live in pgtable.c. This code gets linked into
the EL2 object. What do you think happens if, for some reason, this
gets called *from EL2*?

Furthermore, this doesn't deal with page tables at all. Why isn't
mmu.c a convenient place for it, as an integral part of
kvm_arch_flush_remote_tlbs_range?
