Because 8690bbcf3b70 was introducing a tree-wide change affecting all architectures, I CC'd linux-arch@vger.kernel.org. I expected all architecture maintainers to follow that list, which is relatively low volume.
I'm sorry that you learn about this after the fact as a result. My intent was to use the list rather than CC about 50 additional people/mailing lists.
Of course, if VIPT aliasing is removed from ARC, removing the config ARCH_HAS_CPU_CACHE_ALIASING and using the generic cpu_dcache_is_aliasing() is the way to go. Feel free to add my:
