If someone manages to run an arm64 kernel on a theoretical SMMUv2
implementation which only supports short-descriptor, *and* explicitly
sets the command-line option, then yes, they'll get both the synchronous
TLBIs and the periodic TLBIALLs. As implied by the commit message, my
natural response is "don't do that".

However, it will almost certainly take more effort to argue about it or
come up with other bodges than it will to just implement the quirk in
the v7s code, so if you really think it's a valid concern just shout.

Robin.
