Btw, since this doesn't actually change any code for anybody but ARM, just adds a parameter that is obviously unused by everybody else, and if it actually fixes a real bug for ARM, I'll obviously happily take it even before 2.6.20. So go ahead put it in your ARM tree, and we'll get some testing through that. And just ask me to pull at some point. I wonder why nobody else seems to have a "flush_anon_page()"? This would seem to be a potential issue for architectures like sparc too.. Although maybe sparc can do a flush by physical index with "flush_dcache_page()".
