Thanks!
I will get rid of this.
avoid unnecessary I-cache maintenances. On the map path, invalidate the
I-cache if we are going to create an executable stage-2 mapping for guest.
And on the permission path, invalidate the I-cache if we are going to add
an executable permission to the existing guest stage-2 mapping.

As for the dcache stuff, it seems like this would be best placed in an
optional mm_ops callback, and have the kernel implement it.
I think so, that is the preferred way.
