[RFC PATCH] powerpc/mm/radix: Optimize tlbiel flush

[Anton Blanchard]

Hi Aneesh,

> For a page walk cache flush, we don't need to loop with set number.
> The set number is ignored with RIC=1 (pwc flush).
> 
> For RIC=2 (flush all), inorder to flush implementation dependent
> caches, we can ignore the set number. Hence we do a RIC=2 flush with
> set no: 0, so we do both the tlb flush for set 0 and the
> implementation dependent cache flushes. This is then followed with
> tbl flush for set 1-127

I've applied your two previous radix tlbiel optimisations as my
baseline, and using the simple exec microbenchmark in a7a9dcd882a6 I
see:

HPT:            100%
Radix baseline: 248%
Radix patched:   95%

So this patch fixes the large regression we see with radix, and is even
faster than our HPT number now. Nice work!
