Can you put a comment in here pointing out that for this to work on SMP, it needs to be a global invalidation, or at least some indication on this function that it's not SMP-safe? I realize there's no SMP 8xx, and this is only called in place of steal_context_up(), but in case others think of reusing this elsewhere[1]...

[1] It might be helpful on e500 derivatives in virtualized environments where invalidate-by-PID is expensive, depending on how often stealing happens there.
