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

dredge up the docs describing the proper TLB flushing methods to use
in conjunction with large page extensions for the affected arches.
