Yeah, I don't like the "wait" part... but I don't like it spinning
there either.

The end condition in either case is not just a single GPC being
invalidated, but a full global drain of mn_active_invalidate_count =E2=80=
=94
which is basically unbounded in the hypothetical worst case.

I very much prefer the model I had before, with a "needs_invalidation"
flag on the GPC, set *before* it actually becomes valid, and if the
refresh completes and finds "needs_invalidation" already cleared, the
refresh goes around one more time.

I'll rework the series I'd built yesterday in
