Thanks.

BTW, sparse complains for this "unsigned long __user addr".

asmlinkage int sys_cacheflush(unsigned long __user addr,
        unsigned long bytes, unsigned int cache)

/work/git/linux-mips/arch/mips/mm/cache.c:59:7: warning: dereference of noderef 
expression

I suppose the "unsigned long __user addr" means that the "addr"
variable itself is an userspace object.  So its usage is wrong, isn't
it?
