Using vmalloc'ed buffers will fail since daVinci has VIVT cache and only the kernel lowmem virtual address is invalidated/flushed when performing DMA. The virtual address returned from vmalloc() is not invalidated/flushed and may contain stale data when returning from spi_sync(). Fixes errors when running UBIFS over SPI NOR. Revert this when all upper layer users of vmalloc'ed buffers sent to SPI handles cache flushing/invalidating.
