Boris, I think you already have these prerequisites queued up:

This is a straightforward speedup on Ivy Bridge and newer, IIRC.
(I tested on Skylake.  INVPCID is not available on Sandy Bridge.
I don't have Ivy Bridge, Haswell or Broadwell to test on, so I
could be wrong as to when the feature was introduced.)

I think we should consider these patches separately from the rest
of the PCID stuff -- they barely interact, and this part is much
simpler and is useful on its own.

Changes from v2:
 - Add macros for the INVPCID mode numbers.
 - Add a changelog message for the chicken bit.

v1 was exactly identical to patches 2-4 of the PCID RFC series.
Andy Lutomirski (3):
  x86/mm: Add INVPCID helpers
  x86/mm: Add a noinvpcid option to turn off INVPCID
  x86/mm: If INVPCID is available, use it to flush global mappings
