I don't think this is enough, because every time we drop our pages
shmem could move them around or swap them out, and we get fresh ones.
So we need to re-force this every time we grab new pages.

Also there's already a pile of other cases (well not WB coherency
mode) where userspace can be clever and bypass the coherency if we
don't clflush first. I think it'd be really good to have all that in
one places as much as possible.

Finally this is extremely tricky code, and obj->cache_dirty and
related stuff isn't really documented. kerneldoc for all that would be
really good.
