    flush icache before set_pte() on ia64: flush icache at set_pte · 954ffcb3

    Current ia64 kernel flushes icache by lazy_mmu_prot_update() *after*
    set_pte().  This is too late.  This patch removes lazy_mmu_prot_update and
    add modfied set_pte() for flushing if necessary.
    
    This patch flush icache of a page when
    	new pte has exec bit.
    	&& new pte has present bit
    	&& new pte is user's page.
    	&& (old *ptep is not present
                || new pte's pfn is not same to old *ptep's ptn)
    	&& new pte's page has no Pg_arch_1 bit.
    	   Pg_arch_1 is set when a page is cache consistent.
    
    I think this condition checks are much easier to understand than considering
    "Where sync_icache_dcache() should be inserted ?".
    
    pte_user() for ia64 was removed by http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/6/12/67 as
    clean-up. So, I added it again.
