But strangely enough commit ae92ef8a4424 ("PATCH] flush icache in correct context") added a "set_fs(KERNEL_DS)" around the flush_icache_range call in the module loader, because apparently m68k assumed user pointers. This series first cleans up the cacheflush implementations, largely by switching as much as possible to the asm-generic version after a few preparations, then moves the misnamed current flush_icache_user_range to a new name, to finally introduce a real flush_icache_user_range to be used for the above use cases to flush the instruction cache for a userspace address range. The last patch then drops the set_fs in the module code and moves it into the m68k implementation.
