I'd suggest something like

"mm: implement update_mmu_tlb() using update_mmu_tlb_range()

Let's make update_mmu_tlb() simply a generic wrapper around 
update_mmu_tlb_range(). Only the latter can now be overridden by the 
architecture. We can now remove __HAVE_ARCH_UPDATE_MMU_TLB as well.
"

With that in patch #1
