I added the VIPT aliasing support, with all the cache flush overhead to
support all but 1 silicon. That is long bygone and we can remove the
complexity and maintenance burden of that unneeded code.

This also helps streamline support for new features such as generic folio
work.

This of course messes up Matthew's "arc: implement the new page table
range API".  Are you or Matthew up for redoing that patch?

Alternatively, can you redo this patch on top of Matthew's patch (ie,
against mm-unstable or linux-next)?

Yeah I'll let Matthew's code get merged and redo mine once that is upstream to avoid conflicts in transition.

Thx,
