Ok, so mfleming set me straight on IRC - that's tip/master I should be
staring at.

In any case, I think we should do __flush_tlb_all() in efi_call_cirt()
just in case, for the simple reason that EFI could be installing some
funky TLB entries which we don't want. I'm not saying it does and it
probably won't but what's stopping it?

Or am I being overly paranoid?
