These patches fix some general MIPS Enhanced Virtual Addressing (EVA) issues, with the aim of allowing KVM to be fixed to work on EVA host kernels. Patches 1-3 improve the CP0_EBase handling, particularly in relation to the Write Gate (WG) bit which allows the upper bits (63:30 on MIPS64, 31:30 on MIPS32) to be modified. This allows CP0_EBase to be set correctly with EVA, even when the boot time allocated exception vector is not in KSeg0. They will also help with Matt's upcoming rproc patches. Patch 4 then drops the EVA specific L2 cache flushing from flush_icache_range(), which appeared to work around the partial CP0_EBase assignment fixed by patch 3. Patches 5-9 fix the semantics of flush_icache_range(), which only works on user pointers with EVA. We add a new __flush_icache_user_range() API in patch 5, fix users of flush_icache_range() with user pointers in patches 6-8, and finally separate the implementations so that flush_icache_range() works with kernel addresses in patch 9.
