Previous kernels had linux/highmem.h including asm/pgalloc.h. Placing
the architecture cache handling functions worked well in asm/pgalloc.h,
allowing highmem.h to find them; highmem.h uses flush_dcache_page() and
friends in inline functions.
In this changeset, highmem.h no longer includes pgalloc.h, but instead
pgalloc.h includes highmem.h. This, unfortunately, tends to break things
in a major way since the cache functions are no longer available to
highmem.h.
Looking at x86, the (no-op) cache functions live in pgtable.h. However,
trying to put the ARM cache handling into pgtable.h doesn't work because
we need things like PG_arch_1 and struct page. pgtable.h is included by
linux/mm.h before linux/mm.h declares PG_arch_1 and struct page. So
obviously this can't work.
Has anyone encountered this, and has anyone found a magic working
combination?
For now, I'm going to reverse the include changes in this changeset so
things build again.
