Subject: [PATCH 0/1] Enhanced TLB flushing for vmap/vmalloc()

This patch is actually the v2 version of the this patch[1]. In the v1 version,
Alexandre suggested that I should make the patch more general, so I even changed
the title accordingly. Many thanks to Alexandre.

And Alexandre also submitted a similar patch[2] recently, in which he implemented
TLB flushing via flush_cache_vmap() instead. However, it seems that flush_cache_vmap()
does not cover every place where arch_sync_kernel_mappings() performs TLB flushing.
IMHO, arch_sync_kernel_mappings() cannot be replaced by flush_cache_vmap().
Please correct me if I'm wrong!
