BUG_ON(preemptible()) would be a reasonable thing to put here to be sure.

Rather than using this here and passing state around, you could use
either x86_read/write_percpu, or get/put_cpu_var (or __get_vpu_var if
you don't need the preempt-disable).

No, you don't want to set state->mode to LAZY_FLUSH (its not a mode,
just a action which overloads the interface).
