If someone is calling __native_flush_tlb(), shouldn't they already be in
a state where they can't be preempted? It's fundamentally a one-cpu
thing, both the actual CPU TLB flush _and_ the per-cpu variables.
It seems like we might want to _remove_ the explicit
preempt_dis/enable() from here:
preempt_disable();
native_write_cr3(__native_read_cr3());
preempt_enable();
and add some warnings to ensure it's disabled when we enter
__native_flush_tlb().
