+
+   The software page tables for address space 'mm' for virtual
+   addresses in the range 'start' to 'end-1' are being torn down.
+
+   Some platforms cache the lowest level of the software page tables
+   in a linear virtually mapped array, to make TLB miss processing
+   more efficient.  On such platforms, since the TLB is caching the
+   software page table structure, it needs to be flushed when parts
+   of the software page table tree are unlinked/freed.
+
+   Sparc64 is one example of a platform which does this.
+
+   Usually, when munmap()'ing an area of user virtual address
+   space, the kernel leaves the page table parts around and just
+   marks the individual pte's as invalid.  However, if very large
+   portions of the address space are unmapped, the kernel frees up
+   those portions of the software page tables to prevent potential
+   excessive kernel memory usage caused by erratic mmap/mmunmap
+   sequences.  It is at these times that flush_tlb_pgtables will
+   be invoked.
