In this case -EINTR is returned and it is expected that process re-invokes syscall. However, there are a few problems with that: * looks like nobody bothers checking return value from cacheflush * but if it did, we don't provide the restart address for that, so the process has to use the same range again * ...and again, what might lead to looping forever So, remove cacheflush restarting code and terminate cache flushing as early as fatal signal is pending.

Since that thread has not been progressing much, I'm addressing the problem in separate patch. Comments?
