x86/mm: New tunable for single vs full TLB flush
Most of the logic here is in the documentation file. Please take
a look at it.
I know we've come full-circle here back to a tunable, but this
new one is *WAY* simpler. I challenge anyone to describe in one
sentence how the old one worked. Here's the way the new one
works:
If we are flushing more pages than the ceiling, we use
the full flush, otherwise we use per-page flushes.
