Thanks for that.

I've cooked up something (see below), but it unfortunately makes a couple
of minor changes to powerpc and microblaze to address redefinitions of
some of the gather callbacks (tlb{start,end}vma, __tlb_remove_tlb_entry).

On the plus side, it tidies up the force_flush case in zap_pte_range
quite nicely (assuming I didn't screw it up again).

Cheers,

    mmu_gather: move minimal range calculations into generic code
    
    On architectures with hardware broadcasting of TLB invalidation messages
    , it makes sense to reduce the range of the mmu_gather structure when
    unmapping page ranges based on the dirty address information passed to
    tlb_remove_tlb_entry.
    
    arm64 already does this by directly manipulating the start/end fields
    of the gather structure, but this confuses the generic code which
    does not expect these fields to change and can end up calculating
    invalid, negative ranges when forcing a flush in zap_pte_range.
    
    This patch moves the minimal range calculation out of the arm64 code
    and into the generic implementation, simplifying zap_pte_range in the
    process (which no longer needs to care about start/end, since they will
    point to the appropriate ranges already).
