You surely have better insight than I do here, but is this actually required? This patch seems to allow creation of a kernel where the cache maintenance operations could be used for pmem, but would be otherwise unavailable, which seems counter intuitive to me. Why would someone want to provide the pmem helpers with cache maintenance operations, but not provide them generally? I also don't really understand what the unconditional nature of the pmem helpers has to do with anything, as this patch does not unconditionally provide any cache management operations, only relax the conditions under which the non-standard cache management operations can be provided.
