Maybe the name is a bit long for a local define. See if we could reduce
code line splits below by shortening this name.

My eyes don't like it.
What about
for (; i < size; i += FLUSH_CHUNK_SIZE) {
int len = min(size - i, FLUSH_CHUNK_SIZE);
flush_dcache_range(start + i, start + i + len);
cond_resched();
}
or
end = start + size;
for (; start < end; start += FLUSH_CHUNK_SIZE, size -= FLUSH_CHUNK_SIZE) {
int len = min(size, FLUSH_CHUNK_SIZE);
flush_dcache_range(start, start + len);
cond_resched();
}

This piece of code looks pretty similar to the one before. Can we
refactor into a small helper ?
