  SRU Justification:

  They would like this fixced in the jammy, and noble kernels.
  
  
  For reference, here are the links to the above patches in 6.10-rc3:
  
  * arm64: mm: Don't remap pgtables per-cont(pte|pmd) block
  
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/5c63db59c5f89925add57642be4f789d0d671ccd
  * arm64: mm: Batch dsb and isb when populating pgtables
  
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/1fcb7cea8a5f7747e02230f816c2c80b060d9517
  
  
+ AWS has requested only the first two patches of the series of three patches 
be back ported.
+ 
  [Test Plan]
- AWS test.
+ I have tested this, as has AWS.
  
  [Where problems could occur]
+ With the reordering of tlb invalidation and memory barriers, there is some 
risk, but this chance for regressions on this change is fairly small as the 
scope is fairly narrow.
