This was done recently :-(

Are you	aware of the x86 development tree? It's included in the -tip tree 
and can be found at:

  http://people.redhat.com/mingo/tip.git/README

Credit goes to Tejun Heo who unified the 32-bit and 64-bit TLB code (which 
also means 32-bit uses the 8 IPI vectors) - the code is now all in 
arch/x86/mm/tlb.c.
