This patch goes a long way toward fixing the minifail bug, and it significantly
improves the stability of SMP machines such as the rp3440.  When
write  protecting
a page for COW, we need to purge the existing translation. Otherwise, the COW
break doesn't occur as expected.

The patch assumes the kernel will flush page when it does copy.
