On arm and arm64 there is no way to perform maintenance on *all* caches; it has
to be done in cacheline increments by address. It's not realistic to do that
for the entire address space, so we need to know the relevant address ranges
(as per the commit referenced above).

So we probably need to think a bit harder about the geenric interface, since
"all" isn't possible to implement. :/

Thanks,
