The lkdtm module performs tests against executable memory ranges, so
it needs to flush the icache for proper behaviors. Other architectures
already export this, so do the same for MIPS.

This is currently untested! I'm building a MIPS cross-compiler now...
If someone can validate this fixes the build when lkdtm is a module,
that would be appreciated. :)

Have you run this thru scripts/checkpatch.pl? It would have told you that
an export should immediately follow the corresponding function body, AFAIK.

Hm, it doesn't now but definitely used to...
