[RFC 0/2] powerpc/mm: Mark memory contexts requiring global TLBIs

capi2 and opencapi require the TLB invalidations being sent for
addresses used on the cxl adapter or opencapi device to be global, as
there's a translation cache in the PSL (for capi2) or NPU (for
opencapi). The CAPP (for PSL) and NPU snoop the power bus.
This is not new: for the hash memory model, as soon as the cxl driver
is active, all local TLBIs become global. We need a similar mechanism
for the radix memory model. This patch tries to improve things a bit
by flagging the contexts requiring global TLBIs, therefore limiting
the "upgrade" and not affecting contexts not used by the card.
Alistair: for nvlink2, it is my understanding that all the required
invalidations are already in place through software mmio/ATSD, i.e. this
patch is not useful for you.
Submitting as an RFC, since I don't get to touch mmu.h everyday and
would like to probe people's reaction.
