Yeah we don't care about races, so if the tlb flushing isn't perfect
that's fine.

Also if we glue this into the mmiotrace infrastructure, that already has
all the fault handling. So on x86 I think we could even make it perfect
(but that feels like overkill) and fully atomic. Plus the mmiotrace
overhead (even if we don't capture anything) is probably a bit much even
for testing in CI or somewhere like that.
