BATCHED_UNMAP_TLB_FLUSH is used on x86 to do batched tlb shootdown by sending one IPI to TLB flush all entries after unmapping pages rather than sending an IPI to flush each individual entry. On arm64, tlb shootdown is done by hardware. Flush instructions are innershareable. The local flushes are limited to the boot (1 per CPU) and when a task is getting a new ASID. So marking this feature as "TODO" is not proper. ".." isn't good as well. So this patch adds a "N/A" for this kind of features which are not needed on some architectures.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
