Hi Julien,

I agree with what you are trying to achieve with this patch and I like
the idea of reducing code duplication. As I look at the code, I was
hoping to find a way to avoid introducing macros and use static inline
functions instead, but it doesn't look like it is possible for arm32.
There is no way to pass TLBIALLIS as a parameter to a function for
instance. It might be possible for arm64 as they are just strings, but at
that point it might be better to keep the code similar between arm32 and
arm64 having both of them as macros, instead of having one as macro and
the other as static inline.

Do you agree with me? Can you see any other ways to turn TLB_HELPER into
a static inline?
