When did you encounter such a situation ? i.e. executable code that is 
not backed by struct page ?

Riscv uses the generic implementation of ioremap and the way 
_PAGE_IOREMAP is defined does not allow to map executable memory region 
using ioremap, so I'm interested to understand how we end up in 
flush_icache_pte for an executable region not backed by any struct page.

Thanks,

Alex
