[PATCH] MIPS: Fix COW D-cache aliasing on fork

Browse source 
Provide a custom copy_user_highpage() to deal with aliasing issues on
MIPS.  It uses kmap_coherent() to map an user page for kernel with same
color.  Rewrite copy_to_user_page() and copy_from_user_page() with the
new interfaces to avoid extra cache flushing.

The main part of this patch was originally written by Ralf Baechle;
Atushi Nemoto did the the debugging.
