Oh, I went back and read your description, and realized that I _had_
misunderstood what you did.

I thought you didn't bother with global pages at all when you had PCID.

But that's not what you meant. You always do global for the actual
user-mapped kernel pages, but when you don't have PCID you do *all*
kernel test as global, whether shared or not.

So I entirely misread what the latest change was.
