Ard,

Thanks for adding the note.  I was thinking that this could be done
just before ResetSystem().  It could also be done in SEC phase.

Since capsules are just one use of warm reset, would it make more sense
to flush all the caches in either warm reset of SEC instead of just
the ranges used by capsules.

Thanks,

Mike
