Instead when ARCH_WANT_BATCHED_UNMAP_TLB_FLUSH framework gets enabled on arm64, the same patch could just drop 'NA' as possible values for arch support for a give feature in file Documentation/features/arch-support.txt.

Sure. it is certainly ok to fix this in arm64: support batched/deferred tlb shootdown during page reclamation By a separate patch, I was trying to highlight that my previous patch was wrong. but, yes. it is not fundamentally necessary. Thanks Barry
