Since ARMv7 hardware cache coherence is supported.
"The SCU maintains coherency between the individual data caches in the
Cortex-A5 MPCore processor using a variation of the MOESI protocol" [1].

Therefore this patch enables the MMAP access to the status and control
structures. This avoids HWSYYNC ioctl calls and therefore lowers the CPU
usage.

Interesting...  I thought it would never work properly on ARM.
If it really works like that, I'd happily apply the change.
But I'd like to hear a confirmation from ARM people before merging
such an intensive change.

Hi Takashi,

do I need to send this patch to any other mailing list or do you think some corresponding guy is already on the lists I have used?



thanks,

Takashi
