The current implementation invalidates the cache instead of flushing it. This causes problems on platforms where the spl/u-boot is already loaded to the RAM, with caches enabled by a first stage bootloader.
The V bit of the cp15's control register c1 is set to the value of VINITHI on reset. Do not clear this bit by default, as there are SOC's with no valid memory region at 0x0.
