NOPs should always be an inline. flush_cache_page()'s macro use is
historic - feel free to send cleanup patches against cacheflush.h.
or even better, since most architectures dont need explicit
cache-flushes, provide an asm-generic/cache_flush-nop.h file that is
#include-ed by asm-x86/cacheflush.h. (and by other architectures)
