Subject[RFC PATCH 11/14] x86/mm: use relaxed TLB flushes when protection is removed
Date
From: Nadav Amit <namit@vmware.com>

When checking x86 PTE flags to determine whether a TLB flush is needed,
determine whether a relaxed TLB flush is sufficient. If protection is
added (NX removed or W added), indicate that a relaxed TLB flush would
suffice.
