I'd prefer you retain the "vmid" acronym, instead of "vm". It helps
showing that we're using an invalidation by VMID instead of another
mechanism.

Loose the comment about confusion. I don't think we're that confused ;-).

Missing ENDPROC(). This may cause issues on a Thumb2 kernel, and confuse
the unwinder.

Superfluous (and wrong) comment. The address argument is not misleading,
but a concious design decision.
