No sane architecture will care, since dcache will be coherent (there
are more issues on the I$ side, but that's a different issue)
Yeah. Once the arch maintainers look it it it might be worth to check
if there is optimization potential for pages that are not in highmem
and not in the page cache, as most architectures should be able to
just do nothing in that case.
Either way, I think getting patches 1-4 into 5.14 as bug fixes would
be useful, 6 is a trivial cleanup and 5 is something we can chew on
for a bit.
