Well, there is no such thing as a "remote TLB" anyway. We either have
a non-shareable or inner-shareable invalidation. The notion of remote
would imply that we track who potentially has a TLB, which we
obviously don't.

More x86 nonsense...

See my earlier comment about making this prototype global.
