Then again, I seem to recall a troublesome problem with TLBs and
multiple threads in here many months ago that I didn't believe was
fully solved in corner cases, and there's this question I keep
wondering about whether O_DIRECT (used by SQL databases and QEMU among
others) is safe on these ARMs due to DMA to user-space coherence...
Maybe a bit of generic code just has to be changed.
