Nitpick: maybe something like __TLBI_TG to avoid clashes in case someone
else defines a __TG macro.

I have commented on this in the past, and still maintain that this
would be better served by a switch statement similar to what is used
for TTL already (I don't think this magic formula exists in the
ARM ARM).

Good point, it would be cleaner indeed.

FWIW, we use the somewhat obtuse "(shift - 10) / 2" in the SMMUv3 driver, but that's because we support multiple different granules at runtime and want to generate efficient code. Anything based on PAGE_SHIFT that resolves to a compile-time constant has no excuse for not being written in a clear and obvious manner ;)
