RISC-V systems perform TLB shootdows via the SBI, which currently
performs an IPI to each of the remote harts which then performs a local
TLB flush. This process is a bit on the slow side, but we can at least
speed it up for some common cases by restricting the set of harts to
shoot down to the actual set of harts that are currently participating
in the given mm context, as opposed to the entire system.
This should provide a measurable performance increase, but we haven't
measured it. Regardless, it seems like obviously the right thing to do
:).
