+ * Options for cacheflush system call.
+ *
+ * The ICACHE flush is performed on all cores currently running the
+ * current process's address space.  The intent is for user
+ * applications to be able to modify code, invoke the system call,
+ * then allow arbitrary other threads in the same address space to see
+ * the newly-modified code.  Passing a length of CHIP_L1I_CACHE_SIZE()
+ * or more invalidates the entire icache on all cores in the address
+ * spaces.  (Note: currently this option invalidates the entire icache
+ * regardless of the requested address and length, but we may choose
+ * to honor the arguments at some point.)
+ *
+ * Flush and invalidation of memory can normally be performed with the
+ * __insn_flush(), __insn_inv(), and __insn_finv() instructions from
+ * userspace.  The DCACHE option to the system call allows userspace
+ * to flush the entire L1+L2 data cache from the core.  In this case,
+ * the address and length arguments are not used.  The DCACHE flush is
+ * restricted to the current core, not all cores in the address space.
