Thanks.  Apparently I need to compile on more than just x86 ;-)

This compiles on aargh64:

@@ -61,7 +61,8 @@ static inline void flush_dcache_folio(struct folio *folio)
        unsigned int n = folio_nr_pages(folio);
 
        do {
-               flush_dcache_page(&folio->page[--n]);
+               n--;
+               flush_dcache_page(&folio->page + n);
        } while (n);
 }
 #endif

I'll fold it into my git tree.
