It seems we haz a helper for that: cpumask_test_and_clear_cpu() which
does BTR straightaway.

Why do we need that check? Can that ever happen?

I guess this check should be right under the if (real_prev == next), right?

We need that comment because... ? I mean, we do update CR4/LDTR at the

Shorten that var name and make it fit into 80ish cols so that the

We warn if the next task is not lazy because...?

Also put it as the first statement after the else { ?

Yeah, just let all those three stick out.
Also, no:
if (this_cpu_read(cpu_tlbstate.ctxs[0].tlb_gen) <
next_tlb_gen) {
check?

That's repeated as in the if-branch above. Move it out I guess.
