I was a little skeptical on this part, since the
kvm_arch_flush_remote_tlbs_range() expects to return -EOPNOTSUPP if
indeed there's no support.
But I see your point. The if-else in kvm_pgtable_stage2_flush_range()
seems redundant and I can simply manage this conditions inside
__kvm_tlb_flush_range_vmid_ipa() itself, but I'll leave the
kvm_arch_flush_remote_tlbs_range()'s implementation as is. Thoughts?

Thank you.
