Do we really need the ifdeffery here? I see no real harm in having the
field exist on 32-bit -- we don't care much about performance for 32-bit
kernels.

This looks wrong to me. If we change threads within the same mm but lam
changes (which is certainly possible by a race if nothing else) then
this will go down the "we really are changing mms" path, not the "we're
not changing but we might need to flush something" path.
