SubjectRe: [uClinux-dev] [PATCH] NOMMU: use copy_*_user_page() in access_process_vm()

Jivin Mike Frysinger lays it down ...

> The mmu code uses the copy_*_user_page() variants in access_process_vm()
> rather than copy_*_user() as the former includes an icache flush. This is
> important when doing things like setting software breakpoints with gdb.
> So switch the nommu code over to do the same.
