Can we drop this Kernel config option instead use
MMU_GATHER_RCU_TABLE_FREE? IMHO reducing the kernel config related to
mmu_gather can reduce the complexity.

I'm confused, are you saing you're happy to have PowerPC eat the extra
TLB invalidates? I thought you cared about PPC performance :-)



Instead can we do

static inline void tlb_table_invalidate(struct mmu_gather *tlb)
{
#ifndef CONFIG_MMU_GATHER_RCU_TABLE_FREE
	 * Invalidate page-table caches used by hardware walkers. Then we still
	 * need to RCU-sched wait while freeing the pages because software
	 * walkers can still be in-flight.
	 */
	tlb_flush_mmu_tlbonly(tlb);
#endif
}
