I made a nice list of which patches this code
is based on, but I forgot to copy it into my
intro email.

The patches are based on current -tip, plus:
- tip x86/core: 012e77a903d ("x86/nmi: Fix NMI uaccess race against CR3
switching")
- arm64 tlb/asm-generic branch, including
  - faaadaf315b4 ("asm-generic/tlb: Guard with #ifdef CONFIG_MMU")
  - 22a61c3c4f13 ("asm-generic/tlb: Track freeing of page-table
directories in struct mmu_gather")
  - a6d60245d6d9 ("asm-generic/tlb: Track which levels of the page
tables have been cleared")
