With the recently found INVLPGB / TLBSYNC issue, there has been some
interest in disabling INVLPGB-based TLB flushing, in order to rule out
that CPU issue as a cause of userspace crashes.
Add a kernel command line option to control the TLB flushing behavior.
If the need arises, we will add a "tlbi=broadcast" for the case when TLB
invalidation broadcasts need to be explicitly selected, but this is not
needed now yet.
[ bp: Rewrite commit message, move to cpu/common.c, add documentation. ]
