Now that I think about this a bit more, we really have two different
patterns here:
1. flush_tlb_mm_range() style, which is contiguous virtual address
   flushing from an unmap-style operation.
2. Mel's new try_to_unmap_one() style, which are going to be relatively
   random virtual addresses.

So, the "ascending adjacent" case is still interesting, but it wouldn't
cover Mel's new case.
