I suppose if we run "tlbi vae1" instead of "tlbi vae1is", it will be
more efficient without side effect, since both ghes_ioremap_pfn_irq()
and ghes_iounmap_irq() happen in same atomic context. However, today
arch/arm64/include/asm/tlbflush.h does not have a function tailored for
such performance optimization. Does it make sense to add a parameter to
flush_tlb_kernel_range() to allow caller to make a choice?
   static inline void flush_tlb_kernel_range(unsigned long start,
	unsigned long end, bool local)
There are only two others callers of flush_tlb_kernel_range().
