[PATCH 20 of 24] xen: disable preemption during tlb flush

From: Jeremy Fitzhardinge
Date: Wed Apr 02 2008 - 14:40:32 EST


Various places in the kernel flush the tlb even though preemption doens't
guarantee the tlb flush is happening on any particular CPU. In many cases
this doesn't seem to matter, so don't make a fuss about it.
