__flush_icache_range works on kernel addresses, and doesn't need uaccess. The existing code is a side-effect of its current implementation with __flush_cache_user_range fallthrough. Instead of fallthrough to share the code, use a common macro for the two where the caller specifies an optional fixup label if user access is needed. If provided, this label would be used to generate an extable entry. Simplify the code to use dcache_by_line_op, instead of replicating much of its functionality. No functional change intended. Possible performance impact due to the reduced number of instructions.

Should this perhaps be dsb ish? IIUC, ishst does not synchronize on completion of cache maintenance, and while that is implicit on this code path, I'd still assume it needs to complete before carrying on. Or does IDC not require this?
