    [MIPS] Retire flush_icache_page from mm use. · 585fa724
    Ralf Baechle 提交于
    On the 34K the redundant cache operations were causing excessive stalls
    resulting in realtime code running on the second VPE missing its deadline.
    For all other platforms this patch is just a significant performance
    improvment as illustrated by below benchmark numbers.
    
    Processor, Processes - times in microseconds - smaller is better
