Ok, now that we have commit 0aed55af8834 "x86, uaccess: introduce
copy_from_iter_flushcache for pmem / cache-bypass operations" upstream
that changes the model for how an architecture advertises
pmem-specific cache management routines. CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_PMEM_API
causes the pmem driver to try to link to these helpers rather than
dummy fallbacks:
arch_wb_cache_pmem
arch_invalidate_pmem
....and CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_UACCESS_FLUSHCACHE indicates that the arch has
all the needed "flushcache" apis:
__copy_from_user_flushcache
memcpy_page_flushcache
memcpy_flushcache
