From: Nadav Amit <namit@vmware.com>

Introduce relaxed TLB flushes in x86. When protection is removed from
PTEs (i.e., PTEs become writeable or executable), relaxed TLB flushes
would be used. Relaxed TLB flushes do flush the local TLB, but do not
flush remote TLBs.

If later a spurious page-fault is encountered, and the local TLB
generation is found to be out of sync with the mm's TLB generation, a
full TLB flush takes place to prevent further spurious page-faults from
occurring.
