2.6.30-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Nicolas Pitre <nico@cam.org>

commit 73be1591579084a8103a7005dd3172f3e9dd7362 upstream.

Without this, the default implementation is a no op which is completely
wrong with a VIVT cache, and usage of sg_copy_buffer() produces
unpredictable results.
