I can't see that this would ever need to vary on a per-unmap-operation 
basis, so this doesn't seem like the right level of abstraction. AFAICS 
it should simply be hard-coded in the driver logic.

I also think this is a slippery slope in the wrong direction anyway - 
there is likely to be a fair bit of hardware-dependent variation around 
how low-level TLB maintenance works (also consider drivers that may want 
to convert a sufficiently large range to an "invalidate all" operation), 
so if a generic helper function doesn't do the right thing for a given 
driver, that driver should simply not use the helper, and directly 
implement the logic it does need.
