[PATCH] flush icache in correct context
flush_icache_range() is used in two different situation - in binfmt_elf.c &
co for user space mappings and module.c for kernel modules. On m68k
flush_icache_range() doesn't know which data to flush, as it has separate
address spaces and the pointer argument can be valid in either address
space.
First I considered splitting flush_icache_range(), but this patch is
simpler. Setting the correct context gives flush_icache_range() enough
information to flush the correct data.
