 * This function forces the icache and prefetched instruction stream to

 *
 *  a) Text was modified using one virtual address and is about to be executed
 *     from the same physical page at a different virtual address.
 *
 *  b) Text was modified on a different CPU, may subsequently be
 *     executed on this CPU, and you want to make sure the new version
 *     gets executed.  This generally means you're calling this in a IPI.
 *
 * If you're calling this for a different reason, you're probably doing

	 * There are quite a few ways to do this.  IRET-to-self is nice
	 * because it works on every CPU, at any CPL (so it's compatible
	 * with paravirtualization), and it never exits to a hypervisor.
	 * The only down sides are that it's a bit slow (it seems to be
	 * a bit more than 2x slower than the fastest options) and that
	 * it unmasks NMIs.  The "push %cs" is needed because, in
	 * paravirtual environments, __KERNEL_CS may not be a valid CS
	 * value when we do IRET directly.
	 *
	 * In case NMI unmasking or performance ever becomes a problem,
	 * the next best option appears to be MOV-to-CR2 and an
	 * unconditional jump.  That sequence also works on all CPUs,
	 * but it will fault at CPL3 (i.e. Xen PV).
	 *
	 * CPUID is the conventional way, but it's nasty: it doesn't
	 * exist on some 486-like CPUs, and it usually exits to a
	 * hypervisor.
	 *
	 * Like all of Linux's memory ordering operations, this is a
	 * compiler barrier as well.
