Sorry, it was a couple of months ago while I worked on HIGHMEM with cache aliasing. I got a soak test failure and rollback of this patch helped. Besides that it is clearly wrong to add unmodified memory area length to aligned start address of that memory. It seems easy to fix but I hadn't time.

provide a test case that breaks the current head of tree?

Thanks.
