e2a9e5ad71 MIPS: add kmap_noncoherent to wire a cached non-coherent TLB entry
This is identical to kmap_coherent apart from the cache coherency
attribute used for the TLB entry, so kmap_coherent is abstracted to
kmap_prot which is then called for both kmap_coherent &
kmap_noncoherent. This will be used by a subsequent patch.

d9cdc901af MIPS: cache: Provide cache flush operations for XFS
Until now flush_kernel_vmap_range() and invalidate_kernel_vmap_range() did
not exist on MIPS resulting in heavy cache corruption on XFS filesystems.

Left for the post-3.0 time: optimization and make this work with highmem,
too.  Since the combination of highmem + cache aliases atm doesn't work
this isn't a regression.

2d4dc890b5 block: add helpers to run flush_dcache_page() against a bio and a request's pages
Mtdblock driver doesn't call flush_dcache_page for pages in request.  So,
this causes problems on architectures where the icache doesn't fill from
the dcache or with dcache aliases.  The patch fixes this.

The ARCH_IMPLEMENTS_FLUSH_DCACHE_PAGE symbol was introduced to avoid
pointless empty cache-thrashing loops on architectures for which
flush_dcache_page() is a no-op.  Every architecture was provided with this
flush pages on architectires where ARCH_IMPLEMENTS_FLUSH_DCACHE_PAGE is
equal 1 or do nothing otherwise.

See "fix mtd_blkdevs problem with caches on some architectures" discussion
on LKML for more information.
