I think that first conditional can be shunted off into the header

return false;

With !CPU_SUP_AMD and the above, broadcast_kernel_range_flush
disappears from tlb.o. (Caveat - I didn't actually read the disasm I
just made it noinline and checked the call disappeared).

It's actually more lines of code but now they're off in a boilerplate
header and it's consistent with the other flags that do this.
