SubjectRe: [PATCH 2/3] nios2: Fix flush_dcache_page() for usage from irq context

I did not add a fixes tag for the parisc or arm version.

The code was originally correct, but later patches then suddenly started
using cache flushes from irq context (e.g. 21b40200cfe96 ("aio: use
flush_dcache_page()")) which then triggers the bug.
So, it's hard to say that it fixes one specific commit.

I suggest you backport it as far as possible.
