NOMMU systems could easily go without this and save a bit of code
and the refcount atomics, because their mm switch is a no-op. I
haven't flipped them over because haven't audited all arch code to
convert over to using the _lazy_tlb refcounting.

This could use some documentation as to what "no" means.
