This does user copies in fs write() into the page cache with write combining.
This pushes the destination out of the CPU's cache, but allows higher bandwidth
in some case.
The theory is that the page cache data is usually not touched by the
CPU again and it's better to not pollute the cache with it. Also it is a little
faster.

* master.kernel.org:/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/sparc-2.6:
[SPARC]: Re-export saved_command_line to modules.
[SPARC64]: Increase command line size to 2048 like other arches.
[SPARC64]: We do not need ZONE_DMA.
This reverts some bogosity from the dynamic command-line
changes made on sparc32 and sparc64.
Drivers such as drivers/sbus/char/openprom.c reference
saved_command_line, and can be modular.
The boot_command_line is __initdata, yet the dynamic command-line
changes add modular exports of that symbol, obviously wrong.

Regarding RFC3775, MH payload proto field should be IPPROTO_NONE. Otherwise
it must be discarded (and the receiver should send ICMP error).
We assume filter should drop such piggyback everytime to disallow slipping
through firewall rules, even the final receiver will discard it.

NF_CT_STAT_INC assumes rcu_read_lock in nf_hook_slow disables
preemption as well, making it legal to use __get_cpu_var without
disabling preemption manually. The assumption is not correct anymore
with preemptable RCU, additionally we need to protect against softirqs
when not holding nf_conntrack_lock.
