i am quite sure there are some other platforms having mm_cpumask().
for example, arm(not arm64).
but i am not exactly sure of the situation of each individual arch. thus,
i don't risk changing their source code.
but arm64 is the second platform looking for tlbbatch, and
ARCH_HAS_MM_CPUMASK only affects tlbbatch. so i would
expect those platforms to fill their ARCH_HAS_MM_CPUMASK
while they start to bringup their tlbbatch? for this moment,
we only need to make certain we don't break x86?
does it make sense?
Thanks
Barry
