[PATCH 1/2] powerpc/lib: Implement PMEM API

[PATCH 1/2] powerpc/lib: Implement PMEM API

[Oliver O'Halloran]

Implement the architecture specific cache maintence functions that make
up the "PMEM API". Currently the writeback and invalidate functions
are the same since the function of the DCBST (data cache block store)
instruction is typically interpreted as "writeback to the point of
coherency" rather than to memory. As a result implementing the API
requires a full cache flush rather than just a cache write back. This
will probably change in the not-too-distant future.

[PATCH 2/2] powerpc/lib: Implement UACCESS_FLUSHCACHE API

[Oliver O'Halloran]

Implement the architecture specific portitions of the UACCESS_FLUSHCACHE
API. This provides functions for the copy_user_flushcache iterator that
ensure that when the copy is finished the destination buffer contains
a copy of the original and that the destination buffer is clean in the
processor caches.

Why restrict that to PPC64 ?

That function seems to only exist in PPC64, however a quite similar one, 
called flush_dcache_range() does the same on PPC32 (defined in 
arch/powerpc/include/asm/cacheflush.h)

In the meantime, I see that PPC64 also has a function called 
flush_dcache_range(), which does the same as PPC32 function 
clean_dcache_range()

Maybe she should re-unify the names ?

Currently I'm only developing and testing on PPC64 and I'd rather not
be enabling features for platforms that I haven't tested them on.

It wouldn't hurt. The problem is that there are a few drivers using
the two though so
we would need to go through those and fix them as needed.
