How about mark_other_asids_invalid()?  It doesn't actually flush
anything.  And the caller could be:

if (!kernel_ptes_are_global()) {
  /* nothing to do.  INVLPG flushes global mappings for all ASIDs. */
} else {
  /* There is no efficient way to invalidate a given VA for all ASIDs
simultaneously. */
  mark_other_asids_invalid();
}
