[PATCH 00/10] arm64: Replace TLB invalidation preprocessor macros with C functions

Hi all,

I cooked this series following a complaint from Linus back in March
about our range-based TLB invalidation macro after we fixed an
over-invalidation bug thanks to incorrect handling of its arguments:

  https://lore.kernel.org/all/CAHk-=wgiX0q0WCL+SFwVCYtG7JR3=2Rshse-5J3AO2Y4AgT7Jw@mail.gmail.com/

Once I started trying to rework the range macro into a C function, I
spotted a few other opportunities for cleanup and so I've ended up with
this series.

Testing and feedback welcome.

Cheers,

Will
