[PATCH 3/3] mmu_notifier: Add the call-back for mmu_notifier_invalidate_range()

From: Joerg Roedel
Date: Tue Jul 29 2014 - 12:19:21 EST


From: Joerg Roedel <jroedel@xxxxxxx>

Now that the mmu_notifier_invalidate_range() calls are in
place, add the call-back to allow subsystems to register
against it.
