Nitpick: maybe something like __TLBI_TG to avoid clashes in case someone
else defines a __TG macro.

I have commented on this in the past, and still maintain that this
would be better served by a switch statement similar to what is used
for TTL already (I don't think this magic formula exists in the
ARM ARM).
