Systems with large external L3-cache (few MBs), might have dirty content belonging to the guest page in L3-cache. To tackle this, we need to flush such dirty content from d-cache so that guest will see correct contents of guest page when guest MMU is disabled.
The patch fixes coherent_icache_guest_page() for external L3-cache.
