Could we instead simply allocate coherent memory for page tables using
dma_alloc_coherent() and skip any flushing on CPU side completely? If
I'm looking correctly, the driver only reads back the page directory
when checking if there is a need to allocate new page table, so there
shouldn't be any significant penalty for disabling the cache.

Other than that, please see some comments inline.

Is it necessary to change this in this patch? In general, it's not a
good idea to mix multiple logical changes together.

It would be a good idea to specify what "count" is. I'm a bit confused
that before it meant bytes and now some multiple of 4?
