Subject: [PATCH -v8 1/4] Massive code cleanup of sys_msync()
Use the PAGE_ALIGN() macro instead of "manual" alignment.
Improve readability of the loop, which traverses the process
memory regions. Make code more symmetric and possibly boost
performance on some RISC CPUs by moving variable assignments.
