You moved the flush into mmu-lock. Please do not :).

See commit 198c74f43f0f5473f99967aead30ddc622804bc1
Thanks for reviewing, I revised to pick up your version.

Functionally there should be no impact on ARM, the
TLB flush function is different.
Yeah, i agree your point on ARM, but your patch moved
the function from x86 to the common code, that means
this function is reused between ARM and x86. No?
