Just wondering if arch_tlbbatch_add_mm() could also detect continuous mapping
TLB invalidation requests on a given mm and try to generate a range based TLB
invalidation such as flush_tlb_range().

struct arch_tlbflush_unmap_batch via task->tlb_ubc->arch can track continuous
ranges while being queued up via arch_tlbbatch_add_mm(), any range formed can
later be flushed in subsequent arch_tlbbatch_flush() ?

OR

It might not be worth the effort and complexity, in comparison to performance
improvement, TLB range flush brings in ?
