MIPS: c-r4k: Split user/kernel flush_icache_range()
flush_icache_range() is used for both user addresses (i.e.
cacheflush(2)), and kernel addresses (as the API documentation
describes).
This isn't really suitable however for Enhanced Virtual Addressing (EVA)
where cache operations on usermode addresses must use a different
instruction, and the protected cache ops assume user addresses, making
flush_icache_range() ineffective on kernel addresses.
Split out a new __flush_icache_user_range() and
__local_flush_icache_user_range() for users which actually want to flush
usermode addresses (note that flush_icache_user_range() already exists
on various architectures but with different arguments).
The implementation of flush_icache_range() will be changed in an
upcoming commit to use unprotected normal cache ops so as to always work
on the kernel mode address space.
