9 This option determines the caching mode for the kernel.
10
11 Write-Back caching mode involves the all reads and writes causing
12 the affected cacheline to be read into the cache first before being
13 operated upon. Memory is not then updated by a write until the cache
14 is filled and a cacheline needs to be displaced from the cache to
15 make room. Only at that point is it written back.
16
17 Write-Through caching only fetches cachelines from memory on a
18 read. Writes always get written directly to memory. If the affected
19 cacheline is also in cache, it will be updated too.
20
21 The final option is to turn of caching entirely.
