Ah, right you are.
Maybe something like:
#ifndef tlb_fill_page
struct mmu_page {
struct page *page;
};
#define tlb_fill_page(tlb, pte, addr) do { } while (0)
#endif
Which can be used from the tlb_remove_tlb_entry() implementation to
gather both the pte and addr. The only complication seems to be that
tlb_remove_tlb_entry() and tlb_remove_page() aren't always matched.
Also, it looks like both power and sparc drive the pte/vaddr flush from
the pte_update/set_pte_at like functions. Which means its not synced to
the mmu_gather at all.
So I'm not at all sure its feasible to link these, but I'll keep it in
mind.
