Thanks for the review!

I have the required change for range invalidation at:
https://gitlab.arm.com/linux-arm/linux-rr/-/commit/38628decb785aea42a349a857b9f8a65a19e9c2b.
But I didn't include it in this submission because it would be dead code until
either the patches you point out land, or Ard's patches land. Also, the
implementation I did uses the CPU feature to determine which variant to apply,
and since the kernel is not using LPA2 yet, it would give the wrong answer for
the case where LPA2 is supported by the system.

I think this patch (or similar) should be included with Ard's changes. What's
your view?

I don't think that is correct, since if/when level -2 gets added,
TLBI_TTL_UNKNOWN would likely be changed to -2, and with your logic, you would
allow level=-1 through and ttl = -1 & 3 = 3. Callers will call this with the
actual level [-1, 3] and the intent here is to use a hint where the instruction
supports it [0, 3]. If you're concerned about the 2 comparisons, how about
leaving "level >= 0" and removing "level <= 3"?

Same argument as above.
