[PATCH] PPC: Don't sleep in flush_dcache_icache_page()

From: Roland Dreier <hidden>
Date: 2005-08-16 21:06:55

flush_dcache_icache_page() will be called on an instruction page
fault.  We can't sleep in the fault handler, so use kmap_atomic()
instead of just kmap() for the Book-E case.

Why do you need to disable interrupts during the kmap_atomic/flush_dcache_icache
operation ? 

I fail to see how an interrupt could have any reference to the data
being dealt with here (the user page).
