Hi Paul,
Just a couple of comments, but they be more suited to Andy.

Given that TLB maintenance on arm is handled in hardware (no need for IPI),
I'd like to avoid this work if at all possible. However, without seeing the
call site I can't tell if it's optional.

Can this be a cmpxchg_relaxed? What is it attempting to order?
