It is clear that reducing number of TLBIs  reduces the umap API latency. But, 
It is
at the expense of throwing away valid tlb entries. 
Quantifying the impact of arbitrary invalidation of valid tlb entries at 
context level is not straight forward and
use case dependent. The side-effects might be rare or won't be known until they 
are noticed.
Can you provide more details on How the unmap latency is causing camera to drop 
frames?
Is unmap performed in the perf path?
If unmap is queued and performed on a back ground thread, would it resolve the 
frame drops?
