I'm not too picky about this. It appears to be the 4th of the series, so assuming they go in in order that should meet your expectations. I am significantly more concerned about the flush_dcache_page() issue in general, though. I guess this should light a fire under my backside to dredge up the docs describing the proper TLB flushing methods to use in conjunction with large page extensions for the affected arches.
