OK, I've now aligned these callbacks to Fuad's naming:

[...]

  * @dcache_clean_inval_poc:	Clean and invalidate the data cache to the 
PoC
  *				for the	specified memory address range.
  * @icache_inval_pou:		Invalidate the instruction cache to the PoU
  *				for the specified memory address range.
  */
struct kvm_pgtable_mm_ops {
	void*		(*zalloc_page)(void *arg);
	void*		(*zalloc_pages_exact)(size_t size);
	void		(*free_pages_exact)(void *addr, size_t size);
	void		(*get_page)(void *addr);
	void		(*put_page)(void *addr);
	int		(*page_count)(void *addr);
	void*		(*phys_to_virt)(phys_addr_t phys);
	phys_addr_t	(*virt_to_phys)(void *addr);
	void		(*dcache_clean_inval_poc)(void *addr, size_t size);
	void		(*icache_inval_pou)(void *addr, size_t size);
};

and repainted everything else.

Thanks,

         M.
