As part of efforts to reduce our reliance on complex preprocessor macros
for TLB invalidation routines, convert the __tlbi_level macro to a C
function for by-level TLB invalidation.

Each specific tlbi level op is implemented as a C function and the
appropriate function pointer is passed to __tlbi_level(). Since
everything is declared inline and is statically resolvable, the compiler
will convert the indirect function call to a direct inline execution.

Probably don't care, but I think you could do
		FIELD_MODIFY(TLBI_TTL_MASK, &arg, ttl);
instead of those two lines. Code generation hopefully similar?
So depends on which macros you find more readable.
