Alex, you were right. I screwed up the patch description by inverting relax
and tight terms :) It should have been more like this:

KVM: PPC: e500mc: Enhance tlb invalidation condition on vcpu schedule

On vcpu schedule, the condition checked for tlb pollution is too loose.
The tlb entries of a vcpu are polluted (vs stale) only when a different vcpu
within the same logical partition runs in-between. Optimize the tlb invalidation
condition taking into account the lpid.
