Would recommend saying "Data cache(s) turned off" so that L2 cache is
included.
There are platforms where the L2 cache is turned on by the boot monitor
(secure monitor) and Linux has no control over it (I think OMAP).
What is the reason for turning off the data caches? Leaving all caches
turned on and coherent with one another has always worked well for me at
the interface from firmware to a booted program.
