Subject: Re: [PATCH 3/3] MIPS: Fix COW D-cache aliasing on fork

With parts of the previous patch 3/3 just having been applied this new
patch replaces it.

MIPS: Fix COW D-cache aliasing on fork

Provide a custom copy_user_highpage() to deal with aliasing issues on
MIPS.  It uses kmap_coherent() to map an user page for kernel with same
color.

The main part of this patch was originally written by Ralf Baechle;
Atushi Nemoto did the the debugging.
