Hi Mathieu,

Thanks for the pointer.

We are in the exact same problem as DAX. We do modify the data through the
kernel linear mapping while user-space can read it through its own. I should
probably return an error when used with any of the arch ARM || SPARC || MIPS,
until cpu_dcache_is_aliasing() introduces a fine-grain differentiation.
