Hi, Ralf.

I suffered form data consistency problem.

Many code of kernel fs usually allocate high page and flush.
But flush_dcache_page of mips checks PageHighMem to avoid flush
so that data consistency is broken, I think.

I found it's by you and Atsushi-san on 585fa724.
Why do we need the check?
Could you elaborte please?
