[PATCH] Avoid SDRAM access crash

Hi Sascha.

> I wonder why this has never hit me. On what hardware did you see this?

Me too.  All I can say is that the timing is tight.  I see crashes at 
various DRAM addresses, all depending on how much was left in cache when 
the tlb invalidate was done.

I'm using the Phytec phyCORE-OMAP44xx card.

> Does the following patch solve your problem aswell?

It does.  I see that routine contains a cache flush as well.

Regards,
	Steve
