Subject: [PATCH] Add API for flushing Anon pages

Currently, get_user_pages() returns fully coherent pages to the kernel for
anything other than anonymous pages.  This is a problem for things like
fuse and the SCSI generic ioctl SG_IO which can potentially wish to do DMA
to anonymous pages passed in by users.

The fix is to add a new memory management API: flush_anon_page() which
is used in get_user_pages() to make anonymous pages coherent.
