This hunk is in the wrong patch, isn't it?

So that's the point that I think is not right. It is the MMU code that
should drive the invalidation method, and not the HYP code. The HYP
code should be as dumb as possible, and the logic should be kept in
the MMU code.

So when a range invalidation is forwarded to HYP, it's a *valid* range
invalidation. not something that can fallback to VMID-wide invalidation.

Thanks,
