Subject: [PATCH 08/10 UPDATED] vmalloc: add un/map_kernel_range_noflush()

[Tejun Heo]

Impact: two more public map/unmap functions

Implement map_kernel_range_noflush() and unmap_kernel_range_noflush().
These functions respectively map and unmap address range in kernel VM
area but doesn't do any vcache or tlb flushing.  These will be used by
new percpu allocator.

NOTE: about cache flush requirements added as per Nick's suggestion.

Thanks.
