This should be:
			if (cache_is_vipt_nonaliasing())

to make it _explicit_ that this technique is only for non-aliasing VIPT
caches (this doesn't work on any other of our cache types.)  Yes, I
know we don't support highmem with VIPT aliasing caches - but still,
we should ensure that this is self-documented in this code.

Same for arch/arm/mm/flush.c
