[PATCH] arch/tile: enhance existing finv_buffer_remote() routine

From: Chris Metcalf
Date: Tue Mar 01 2011 - 14:39:34 EST


It now takes an additional argument so it can be used to
flush-and-invalidate pages that are cached using hash-for-home
as well those that are cached with coherence point on a single cpu.

This allows it to be used more widely for changing the coherence
point of arbitrary pages when necessary.
