But did anything change wrt fullmm? I don't see any changes wrt fullmm
logic in generic code.

The arm64 code changed more, so maybe there was somethinig I missed.
Again, arm64 uses tlb_end_vma() etc, so arm64 certainly triggers code
that x86 does not.

I can revert the commit that causes problems, but considering the
performance impact on x86 (it would be a regression since 3.18), I
would *really* like to fix the arm64 problem instead. So I'll wait
with the revert for at least a week, I think, hoping that the arm64
people figure this out. Sound reasonable?
