Yes, it hits ptep_set_access_flags() and adding _tlbil_va there helps (I
didn't put it in the filter function, because that doesn't take address as a
parameter).  I'd misread your suggestion as referring to the various changes
to set_pte_filter() that were posted.

As for unconditionally invalidating in set_pte_filter(), that doesn't boot
for me unless I check for kernel addresses -- I guess we populate page
tables that overlap the pinned large page region?
