The virtual address space argument of clear_user_highpage is supposed to
be the virtual address where the page being cleared will eventually be
mapped. This allows architectures with virtually indexed caches a few
clever tricks. That sort of trick falls over in painful ways if the
virtual address argument is wrong.
