copy_to_user_page macro is used in mm/memory.c:access_process_vm
function. This function is called from ptrace code (POKETEXT, POKEDATA)
which write data to memory. Microblaze handle physical address for
caches that's why there is virt_to_phys conversion.
There is potential one location which can caused the problem on WB system.
The important is take a look at write PTRACEs requests
(POKE/TEXT, DATA, USR).
Note:
Majority of Microblaze PTRACE code is moved to generic location
in newer kernel version that's why this solution should work on
the newest kernel version too.
linux/io.h is in cacheflush because of mm/nommu.c
Tested on a WB system - hello world debugging.

__copy_to/from_user_inatomic should call __copy_to/from_user
because there is not necessary to check access because of kernel function.
might_sleep in copy_to/from_user macros is causing problems

This is the first half of the attempt to use asm-generic/scatterlist.h
on every architecture.
There are only two ways to define scatterlist structure. So it's easy
to convert every architecture to use asm-generic/scatterlist.h.
This patch:
The trick for ISA_DMA_THRESHOLD in asm-generic/scatterlist.h doesn't work
for powerpc. This lets architectures defin ISA_DMA_THRESHOLD.
Hopefully, we can remove ISA_DMA_THRESHOLD in the future; we can do better
to decide if the bouncing is necessary or not.

This patch eliminates the node pointer from struct of_device and the
of_node (or prom_node) pointer from struct dev_archdata since the node
pointer is now part of struct device proper when CONFIG_OF is set, and
all users of the old pointer locations have already been converted over
to use device->of_node.
Also remove dev_archdata_{get,set}_node() as it is no longer used by
anything.

The Microblaze implementations of get_user() and (MMU) put_user() evaluate
the address argument more than once. This causes unexpected side-effects for
invocations that include increment operators, i.e. get_user(foo, bar++).
This patch also removes the distinction between MMU and noMMU put_user().

On platforms doing non-coherent DMA (4xx, 8xx, ...), it's important
that the kmalloc minimum alignment is set to the cache line size, to
avoid sharing cache lines between different objects, so that DMA to
one of the objects doesn't corrupt the other.
