On vcpu schedule, the condition checked for tlb pollution is too tight.
The tlb entries of one vcpu are polluted when a different vcpu from the
same partition runs in-between. Relax the current tlb invalidation
condition taking into account the lpid.

Your mailer is broken? :)
This really should be an @.
I think this should work. Scott, please ack.
Alex, you were right. I screwed up the patch description by inverting relax
and tight terms :) It should have been more like this:
KVM: PPC: e500mc: Enhance tlb invalidation condition on vcpu schedule
On vcpu schedule, the condition checked for tlb pollution is too loose.
The tlb entries of a vcpu are polluted (vs stale) only when a different vcpu
within the same logical partition runs in-between. Optimize the tlb invalidation
condition taking into account the lpid.
Can't we give every vcpu its own lpid? Or don't we trap on global
invalidates?
Alex
