If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Vineet Gupta commit e6c495a96ce02574e765d5140039a64c8d4e8c9e upstream. zap_pte_range loops from @addr to @end. In the middle, if it runs out of batching slots, TLB entries needs to be flushed for @start to @interim, NOT @interim to @end. Since ARC port doesn't use page free batching I can't test it myself but this seems like the right thing to do.
