Subject: [PATCH] MIPS: fix cache flushing for highmem pages
Most cache flush ops were no-op for highmem pages. This led to nasty
segfaults and (in the case of page_address(page) == NULL) kernel
crashes.
Fix this by always flushing highmem pages using kmap/kunmap_atomic
around the actual cache flush. This might be a bit inefficient, but at
least it's stable.
