radix__flush_tlb_page seems to check for a hugepage vma and flush the
right page size in that case. So is there a case where the flush size
actually goes wrong?

I do think if we could make hugetlb flushing always use
flush_hugetlb_page version and take the test out of flush_tlb_page I
think that would be nicer code (I haven't checked if that's feasible
after this patch), but that wouldn't be a bug-fix.

Thanks,
