#     mm: do not initialize TLB stack vma's with vma_init()
#     
#     Commit 2c4541e24c55 ("mm: use vma_init() to initialize VMAs on stack and
#     data segments") tried to initialize various left-over ad-hoc vma's
#     "properly", but actually made things worse for the temporary vma's used
#     for TLB flushing.
#     
#     vma_init() doesn't actually initialize all of the vma, just a few
#     fields, so doing something like
#     
#        -       struct vm_area_struct vma = { .vm_mm = tlb->mm, };
#        +       struct vm_area_struct vma;
#        +
#        +       vma_init(&vma, tlb->mm);
#     
#     was actually very bad: instead of having a nicely initialized vma with
#     every field but "vm_mm" zeroed, you'd have an entirely uninitialized vma
#     with only a couple of fields initialized.  And they weren't even fields
#     that the code in question mostly cared about.
#     
#     The flush_tlb_range() function takes a "struct vma" rather than a
#     "struct mm_struct", because a few architectures actually care about what
#     kind of range it is - being able to only do an ITLB flush if it's a
#     range that doesn't have data accesses enabled, for example.  And all the
#     normal users already have the vma for doing the range invalidation.
#     
#     But a few people want to call flush_tlb_range() with a range they just
#     made up, so they also end up using a made-up vma.  x86 just has a
#     special "flush_tlb_mm_range()" function for this, but other
#     architectures (arm and ia64) do the "use fake vma" thing instead, and
#     thus got caught up in the vma_init() changes.
#     
#     At the same time, the TLB flushing code really doesn't care about most
#     other fields in the vma, so vma_init() is just unnecessary and
#     pointless.
#     
#     This fixes things by having an explicit "this is just an initializer for
#     the TLB flush" initializer macro, which is used by the arm/arm64/ia64
#     people who mis-use this interface with just a dummy vma.
#
