There's a reason I'd like to make everybody use asm-generic/tlb.h and
unify all the crazy bits. Once there's common code everybody is forced
to think about this stuff instead of endlessly hack their own
architecture to make it work without consideration for the rest of us.

Furthermore, I don't think its actually too hard to do.. (famous last
words).
