For fullmm tlb flush, we do a flush with RIC_FLUSH_ALL which will invalidate all
related caches (radix__tlb_flush()). Hence the pwc flush is not needed.

Both patches are straight-forward and limited in scope. For both:

Patches 1 and 2 are clear optimizations and are arch-specific. Both
appear OK to me.
