O.K. let's say we flush by default: the global flag is set.

We can have a (short) list of the CPU models which do not require
this flush.

If all of the CPUs are on the list then clear the global flag. And:

static inline void sync_icache_dcache(pte_t pte) {
      if (pte_exec(pte) && global_flag)
              __sync_icache_dcache(pte);
}

Thanks,
