nit: Rather than discussing a theoretical CMO walker, I think this is
more readable if you mention the existing behavior of the walker.

  Condition deferred TLB invalidation on the system supporting FWB, as
  the optimization is entirely pointless when the unmap walker needs to
  perform CMOs.

typo: individual

Also, 'PTE' isn't significant here.

Apply the wording suggestion from the changelog here as well.
