[PATCH 3.11 200/233] parisc: fix cache-flushing

[Luis Henriques]

3.11.10.4 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Helge Deller <deller@xxxxxx>

commit 57737c49dd72c96cfbcd4f66559f3ffc399aeb4f upstream.

This commit:
f8dae00684d678afa13041ef170cecfd1297ed40: parisc: Ensure full cache coherency for kmap/kunmap
caused negative caching side-effects, e.g. hanging processes with expect and
too many inequivalent alias messages from flush_dcache_page() on Debian 5 systems.

This patch now partly reverts it and has been in production use on our debian buildd
makeservers since a week without any major problems.
