No, it doesn't. If the page isn't a highmem one, the kunmap doesn't do
anything to the caches (and I also have highmem disabled). My logic was
based on a statement in cachetlb.txt that flush_dcache_page() should be
called if the kernel writes to a page cache page, hence the patch (as it
was pointed out, the first call to flush_dcache_page() isn't needed).

Well, if those are the API rules, libata certainly must follow them...
