It's not enough, we need to have the 'mm' so we can know what cpu's this
address space has executed upon, and therefore what cpus need the broadcast
flush.
See my other reply, we can just make a __copy_to_user_page() that takes 'mm'
and a boolean 'executable' which uprobes can unconditionally pass as true.
