I believe Palmer and Jisheng are right, my initial proposal to implement 
flush_cache_vmap is wrong.

But then, Jiuyang should not have noticed any problem here, so what's 
wrong? @Jiuyang: Does implementing flush_cache_vmap fix your issue?

And regarding flush_cache_vunmap, from Jisheng call stack, it seems also 
not necessary.

@Jiuyang: Can you tell us more about what you noticed?
