+Subject: [PATCH] MIPS: fix cache flushing for highmem pages
+
+Most cache flush ops were no-op for highmem pages. This led to nasty
+segfaults and (in the case of page_address(page) == NULL) kernel
+crashes.
+
+Fix this by always flushing highmem pages using kmap/kunmap_atomic
+around the actual cache flush. This might be a bit inefficient, but at
+least it's stable.
