The use of the vaddrs array to pass the page addresses to the remote
functions is lacking serialization. xmp_cross_call_masked() returns when
the mondo signals are delivered to the target cpus, not when the remote
functions have completed. This can result in the vaddr array being
overwritten by the initiating cpu before the remote functions execute.

Failing to flush the tlb entries correctly can cause user-space
processes to access stale memory resulting in various traps. An easy
way to trigger this behavior is to repeatedly write a large number to
/proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages:

while true ; do
	echo 1000000 > /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages
done

The very limited environment in which the remote functions execute makes
it difficult to pass any more arguments. This patch passes one or two
page addresses as arguments eliminating the pointer argument. In order
to limit the number of cross calls, if the number of tlb entries to flush
exceeds a threshold, xcall_tlb_flush_mm is called instead. I've initially
set the threshold at 16, but there is probably a better number.
