flush icache for ia64 take4.
This patch is against 2.6.23-rc1.
Changes v3 -> v4:
- avoid implementing flush_(i)cache_pages().
- added sync_icache_dcache() call.
- change Documentation/cachetlb.txt
Current ia64 kernel flushes icache by lazy_mmu_prot_update() *after*
set_pte(). This is wrong.
In migration, a new page should be cache flushed before set_pte()
in some archs.

That makes no sense at all. If we ever call that after freeing initmem,
we are screwed, period. Sounds like __init fodder.

I do not think changing the semantics of flush_cache_page()
is a good idea. Please have a look at Documentation/cachetlb.txt.
This is for virtual address tagged caches.
The doc. does not say much about flush_icache_page().
It is used in:
install_page(): can release any previously existing mappin

This is a patch for flush icache for ia64 take3.
against 2.6.23-rc1. tested on ia64/NUMA.
Comments ? Should I add CONFIG_MONTECITO ?
(It seems header-file dependency is not clean..but...)
Thanks,
