[PATCH] uml: TLB operation batching
This adds VM op batching to skas0. Rather than having a context switch to and
from the userspace stub for each address space change, we write a number of
operations to the stub data page and invoke a different stub which loops over
them and executes them all in one go.
The operations are stored as [ system call number, arg1, arg2, ... ] tuples.
The set is terminated by a system call number of 0. Single operations, i.e.
page faults, are handled in the old way, since that is slightly more
efficient.
For a kernel build, a minority (~1/4) of the operations are part of a set.
These sets averaged ~100 in length, so for this quarter, the context switching
overhead is greatly reduced.
