We already have an API to flush a kernel page along an alias
address, so use it. The TLB purge prevents the CPU from doing
speculative moveins on the flushed address, so we don't need to
implement and invalidate.

Mtdblock driver doesn't call flush_dcache_page for pages in request. So,
this causes problems on architectures where the icache doesn't fill from
the dcache or with dcache aliases. The patch fixes this.
The ARCH_IMPLEMENTS_FLUSH_DCACHE_PAGE symbol was introduced to avoid
pointless empty cache-thrashing loops on architectures for which
flush_dcache_page() is a no-op. Every architecture was provided with this
flush pages on architectires where ARCH_IMPLEMENTS_FLUSH_DCACHE_PAGE is
equal 1 or do nothing otherwise.
See "fix mtd_blkdevs problem with caches on some architectures" discussion
on LKML for more information.

When we build for PA8X00, we define ARCH_HAS_KMAP, which results in
the kmap_types.h include in highmem.h getting skipped...
