I don't think so because they don't have a MM in the first place so
they don't shouldn't need to flush a TLB. But then there is iounmap()
and vfree() for instance which does

vmap_debug_free_range()
{
   if (debug_pagealloc_enabled()) {
         vunmap_page_range(start, end);
         flush_tlb_kernel_range(start, end);
   }
}

so it looks like a candidate.
