Not really, because if we're doing a genuine non-leaf invalidation of a 
table then it should be a block-aligned range that ought to fit in a 
single command and should certainly never involve a single-granule 
remainder. If we're doing non-leaf invalidations of things that 
logically don't need to be non-leaf, making them leaf would be the even 
better option.

TBH I'd rather you just drop my patch if it's proven problematic, and 
I'll take another crack at it soon. The potential problems we introduce 
by using non-range invalidates on errata-affected MMU-700 revisions are 
worse than the almost-entirely-theoretical one I was trying to address.

Robin.
