Hello!


O.K. If the size of the region which should remapped are not a multiply of 
PAGE_SIZE, then always the last pages were not remapped. I would call it a 
bug and maybe this has caused some other problems.

But there is still another problem with kernel_set_cachemode, if the 
beginnig address of the region is also not a multiply of PAGE_SIZE, then 
in some cases the last page will also not remaped. I'll fix it if I have 
the time.
