SDM names this invalidation as "all contexts" and global translations
have a different meaning, so I would keep it, for clarity.

We already use the other meaning in SINGLE_CONTEXT_RETAINING_GLOBALS and
for example INVPCID has type for "all contexts, including globals" and
"all contexts, excluding globals", so we will have to really distinguish
global and global at some point ...
