As I look at this we really need to understand what Haavard was trying  
to get with:

     cfi_flash: Use map_physmem() and unmap_physmem()
     Use map_physmem() and unmap_physmem() to convert from physical to
     virtual addresses. This gives the arch a chance to provide an  
uncached
     mapping for flash accesses.

Since this only addresses the usage in cfi_flash.c but not in other  
users of flash_info (like commands)
- k
