what is the point of calling flush_cache_all() here ? Do we really
care that dirty data in L1 is written to DDR ? I may be missing
something but to me it's just extra latency.

It seems to me that if there's no L2 cache, then outer_disable()  is a
no-op. It could be called unconditionally.

same remark as for outer_disable()
