Huh.  How's this?

Subject: [PATCH] x86: use flush_tlb_others to implement flush_tlb_all

Use the flush_tlb_others() call to implement flush_tlb_all().  This is
useful because flush_tlb_others() already goes via paravirt_ops, and so
will be properly paravirtualized.  This needs a small extension of the
extension to the existing native_flush_tlb_others: the global flush is
indicated by setting the "mm" parameter to NULL, so that kernel mappings
are also flushed.

As a side effect of this change, we need to initialize
native_flush_tlb_others()'s spinlocks earlier, as flush_tlb_all() can
be called earlier in the boot sequence.

(Nothing similar is required for xen_flush_tlb_others, as we don't use
global mappings in a guest-visible way under Xen.)

[ Impact: Optimise flush_tlb_all under Xen ]
