For context, we currently have this:

	if (!kvm_arch_flush_remote_tlb(kvm)
	    || kvm_make_all_cpus_request(kvm, KVM_REQ_TLB_FLUSH))
		++kvm->stat.generic.remote_tlb_flush;

Is there any reason why we shouldn't move the KVM_REQ_TLB_FLUSH call
into the arch-specific helpers? This is architecture specific, even if
the majority of the supported architecture cannot do broadcast
invalidation like arm64 does.

Thanks,

	M.
