To avoid having to document the pairing for all use, perhaps some
tile_invalidated accessors?

Would it be possible to code this repeated pattern as a function?

xe_vm_needs_invalidaion(vm, tile, tile_present, tile_invalidated);

Perhaps doesn't improve much on readability. Up to you.

Otherwise LGTM.
