Yeah, I'd rather not downgrade to a non-range invalidate since that 
complicates the reasoning for the errata affecting those. If the size of 
the invalidation is equal to TG then it can only represent a single 
last-level page, i.e. TTL=3, thus if it does warrant handling here then 
indeed rearranging to base the condition on num_pages as well ought to 
suffice. However, this is all still begging the question of where and 
why we're doing a *non-leaf* invalidation that isn't aligned to the size 
of a table, because that in itself doesn't make a whole heap of sense - 
my hunch is that that wants figuring out and could probably be fixed at 
the source.

Thanks,
Robin.
