Why is the code moved between dma-mapping.c and flush.c? It was not
obvious while looking at these patches why this is needed.
I wanted to use the cache flushing routines from dma-mapping.c and
it seemed better to pull them out vs. trying to put more generic
cache flushing code in dma-mapping.c. flush.c seemed like an
appropriate place although I forgot about the dependency on CONFIG_MMU.
It can certainly remain in dma-mapping.c if deemed appropriate.
Thanks,
Laura
