This is a taste thing so feel free to ignore it as maybe other
will dislike more what i prefer:

+			if (!mmu_notifier_range_blockable(range)) {
+				non_block_start();
+				_ret = mn->ops->invalidate_range_start(mn, range);
+				non_block_end();
+			} else
+				_ret = mn->ops->invalidate_range_start(mn, range);

If only we had predicate on CPU like on GPU :)

In any case:
