[RFC,net-next 3/6] iov_iter: Add a nocache copy iov iterator

[Joe Damato]

Add copy_page_from_iter_nocache, which wraps copy_page_from_iter_iovec and
passes in a custom copyin function: __copy_from_user_nocache.

This allows callers of copy_page_from_iter_nocache to copy data without
disturbing the CPU cache.
