Needs a cond_resched() somewhere in case the list is very long?
BTW one trick that may be interesting here is to add a new mode
that skips the TLB flush completely, but instead waits with
the freeing until enough context switches to non kernel tasks occurred
(and flushed the TLB this way). This could be done as part of RCU.
