This really doesn't look like a job for the file system layer.
That would require all sorts of file system readpage routines to
be modified to handle memory management details that are already
handled by the memory.c functions. The do_no_page code is already
dealing with the necessary icache flushing operations. It just
happens to be doing it with a bad race condition for ia64.
