Will be grateful !

Sorry, I missed the v7 update. One comment here is that the naming
used in the patch series I mentioned shortens invalidate to inval (if
you want it to be less of a mouthful):

OK, I've now aligned these callbacks to Fuad's naming:

[...]

* @dcache_clean_inval_poc: Clean and invalidate the data cache to the PoC
* for the specified memory address range.
* @icache_inval_pou: Invalidate the instruction cache to the PoU
* for the specified memory address range.
*/
struct kvm_pgtable_mm_ops {
void* (*zalloc_page)(void *arg);
void* (*zalloc_pages_exact)(size_t size);
void (*free_pages_exact)(void *addr, size_t size);
void (*get_page)(void *addr);
void (*put_page)(void *addr);
int (*page_count)(void *addr);
void* (*phys_to_virt)(phys_addr_t phys);
phys_addr_t (*virt_to_phys)(void *addr);
void (*dcache_clean_inval_poc)(void *addr, size_t size);
void (*icache_inval_pou)(void *addr, size_t size);
};

and repainted everything else.

Thanks,

M.
