These functions were introduced for "cxl: Enable global TLBIs for cxl contexts" [1], which ended up using them for Radix only. They were never implemented on Hash (and creating an implementation appears to be difficult), so nothing can actually rely on them. They behave differently to the existing surrounding functions too, in that they actually need to do something on Hash. The other functions are primarily for use in generic code that expects their definitions, but Hash updates the TLB during PTE updates. After replacing the only usage with the Radix specific version, there are no more users of these functions, and given they are not implemented anyway it is safe to delete them.

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.
