This is an attempt to fix a few different related issues around switching mm, TLB flushing, and lazy tlb mm handling. This will require all architectures to eventually move to disabling irqs over activate_mm, but it's possible we could add another arch call after irqs are re-enabled for those few which can't do their entire activation with irqs disabled. I'd like some feedback on the sparc/powerpc vs kthread_use_mm problem too.
