James Bottomley 5a3a5a98b6 [PATCH] Add flush_kernel_dcache_page() API
We have a problem in a lot of emulated storage in that it takes a page from
get_user_pages() and does something like

kmap_atomic(page)
modify page
kunmap_atomic(page)

However, nothing has flushed the kernel cache view of the page before the
kunmap.  We need a lightweight API to do this, so this new API would
specifically be for flushing the kernel cache view of a user page which the
kernel has modified.  The driver would need to add
flush_kernel_dcache_page(page) before the final kunmap.
