+/*
+ * The set_memory_* API can be used to change various attributes of a virtual
+ * address range. The attributes include:
+ * Cachability   : UnCached, WriteCombining, WriteBack
+ * Executability : eXeutable, NoteXecutable
+ * Read/Write    : ReadOnly, ReadWrite
+ * Presence      : NotPresent
+ *
+ * Within a catagory, the attributes are mutually exclusive.
+ *
+ * The implementation of this API will take care of various aspects that
+ * are associated with changing such attributes, such as:
+ * - Flushing TLBs
+ * - Flushing CPU caches
+ * - Making sure aliases of the memory behind the mapping don't violate
+ *   coherency rules as defined by the CPU in the system.
+ *
+ * What this API does not do:
+ * - Provide exclusion between various callers - including callers that
+ *   operation on other mappings of the same physical page
+ * - Restore default attributes when a page is freed
+ * - Guarantee that mappings other than the requested one are
+ *   in any state, other than that these do not violate rules for
+ *   the CPU you have. Do not depend on any effects on other mappings,
+ *   CPUs other than the one you have may have more relaxed rules.
+ * The caller is required to take care of these.

+ * For legacy compatibility with the old APIs, a few functions
+ * are provided that work on a "struct page".
+ * These functions operate ONLY on the 1:1 kernel mapping of the
+ * memory that the struct page represents, and internally just
+ * call the set_memory_* function. See the description of the
+ * set_memory_* function for more details on conventions.
+ *
+ * These APIs should be considered *deprecated* and are likely going to
+ * be removed in the future.
+ * The reason for this is the implicit operation on the 1:1 mapping only,
+ * making this not a generally useful API.
+ *
+ * Specifically, many users of the old APIs had a virtual address,
+ * called virt_to_page() or vmalloc_to_page() on that address to
+ * get a struct page* that the old API required.
+ * To convert these cases, use set_memory_*() on the original
+ * virtual address, do not use these functions.
