Obviously I can't comment the changes in arm/ ;)

But I'd vote for this patch.



Off-topic, I am just curious... can't someone explain why flush_pfn_alias()
or flush_icache_alias() can't race with itself ? I have no idea what they do,
but what if another thread calls the same function with the same CACHE_COLOUR()
right after set_pte_ext?

Oleg.
