[Xen-devel] [For Xen-4.10 PATCH 2/3] arm: p2m: Prevent redundant icache flushes



When toolstack requests flushing the caches, flush_page_to_ram() is
called for each page of the requested domain. This needs to unnecessary
icache invalidation operations.

Let's take the responsibility of performing icache operations and use
the recently introduced flag to prevent redundant icache operations by
flush_page_to_ram().
