Does this mean we need ref counting (or moral equiv) somewhere?  Each
cpu decrements the count as it does the flush and the last one does
the unmap?

I assume there is an inter cpu message to cause the flush to happen,
so cpu's which don't have a cache entry, still get a chance to
decrement the ref count.

Of course I don't claim to know anything about the hardware involved
:-)
