Hrm. That's a good question.   I'm not sure I totally have my head
around it but, I guess we could make sure to call
invalidate_kernel_vmap_range() in begin_cpu_access()  and
flush_kernel_vmap_range() in end_cpu_access() rather then exiting out
early as we do now?

Unless you have better guidance?

Worse case we could check CONFIG_CPU_CACHE_VIVT and not register the
system-uncached heap.

thanks
