I'm always a bit scared of changing this sort of thing, but AFAICT the 
below should be safe:

-       flush_tlb_kernel_range(start, start + size);
+       /*
+        * If the memory is being made valid without changing any other bits
+        * then a TLBI isn't required as a non-valid entry cannot be cached in
+        * the TLB.
+        */
+       if (set_mask != PTE_VALID || clear_mask)
+               flush_tlb_kernel_range(start, start + size);

It will affect users of set_memory_valid() by removing the TLBI when 
marking memory as valid.

I'll add this change as a separate patch so it can be reverted easily
if there's something I've overlooked.

Thanks,
Steve
