That's a great improvement!

Is the SMP dependency because the batching is only useful with multiple CPUs, or
just because tlbflush.c is only compiled in SMP configurations (which is
resolved by [1])?

This condition is necessarily true if the file is being compiled.

The batching appears to be limited to within a single mm, so we could save the
ASID inside struct arch_tlbflush_unmap_batch and use it here.
