The NPU has a limited number of address translation shootdown (ATSD)
registers and the GPU has limited bandwidth to process ATSDs. This can
result in contention of ATSD registers leading to soft lockups on some
threads, particularly when invalidating a large address range in
pnv_npu2_mn_invalidate_range().
At some threshold it becomes more efficient to flush the entire GPU
TLB for the given MM context (PID) than individually flushing each
address in the range. This patch will result in ranges greater than
2MB being converted from 32+ ATSDs into a single ATSD which will flush
the TLB for the given PID on each GPU.
