Subject: [PATCH 1/5] x86: mm: Account for TLB flushes only when debugging

Bisection between 3.11 and 3.12 fingered commit 9824cf97 (mm: vmstats:
tlb flush counters).  The counters are undeniably useful but how often
do we really need to debug TLB flush related issues? It does not justify
taking the penalty everywhere so make it a debugging option.
