SubjectRe: [PATCH] swapin flush cache bug

I've closed the entry. It is SuperH cache flushing issue at I/O.

Then, thinking again, I think that my argument for do_swap_page() is
still valid.

When the page is swapped in, the cache for the page is flushed
__only if__ it's not found in swap cache.

I don't see any reason why we need to flush the cache here.
