Right, in the specific case of the __flush_dcache_area() function none
of the PI stuff is really needed I think. I did it this way to keep
things as consistent as possible with the host-side implementation, but
that is not required.

I understand this can cause confusion, so yes, I'll simplify this for
v2.
