Tony,

No problem. I really didn't want to do it, but it seems that the -mm
series already introduced this for Xen. It was that or 3 zillion
#ifdefs ;-(

Hmmm for some reason I had the impression PG_arch_1 was only used on
PPC/PPC64 for icache current status, but it looks like you're
right. Darn ;-(

Can't we just drop swiotlb and tell people to buy real hardware? ;-)))

Ok, I'll invent a new flag!

Thanks for the input!

Cheers,
Jes
