There are 32 INVALIDATE_TLB_VECTOR now in kernel. That is quite big amount of vector in IDT. But it is still not enough, since modern x86 sever has more cpu number. That still causes heavy lock contention in TLB flushing. The patch using generic smp call function to replace it. That saved 32 vector number in IDT, and resolved the lock contention in TLB flushing on large system. In the NHM EX machine 4P * 8cores * HT = 64 CPUs, hackbench pthread has 3% performance increase.
