Right, just as I thought.

I guess we could return to doing boot_cpu_has() in __flush_tlb_all()
then. I mean, the timing-sensitivity argument is meh - killing global
TLB entries a bit faster doesn't bring me a whole lot when I have to go
and walk pagetable and reestablish them, which is the real price to pay
anyway.

Thanks.
