The POWER9 MMU reads and caches entries from the process table. When we kexec from one kernel to another, the second kernel sets its process table pointer but doesn't currently do anything to make the CPU invalidate any cached entries from the old process table. This adds a tlbie (TLB invalidate entry) instruction with parameters to invalidate caching of the process table after the new process table is installed.
