I can grab it for this release if it's fixing a bug, the subject makes
it sound like a cleanup. Do we have a Fixes tag for it?

I don't particularly like the potentially very long loop in
pnv_npu2_invalidate_helper() which spends most of its time with
interrupts off. I worry we're going to see soft lockups pointing there
if we get a very large invalidate.

cheers
