The current version in tlb-unify blows up due to a missing
tlb_add_flush() definition. I can see in this thread tlb_track_range()
was factored in, but the __pte_free_tlb()/__pmd_free_tlb() semantics have
changed since then. Adding a dumb tlb_add_flush() that wraps in to
tlb_track_range() seems to do the right thing, but someone more familiar
with LPAE and ARM's double PMDs will have to figure out whether the
tlb_track_range() in asm-generic/tlb.h's pmd/pte_free_tlb() are
sufficient to remove the tlb_add_flush() calls or not.

Here's the dumb build fix for now though:
