Damn it, you sent this right after I merged and pushed out this change in
my for-arm-soc branch, and was just about to send it to the arm-soc people.
What excellent timing you have. :)

What happens on the kzm9g if you revert the mach-shmobile changes?

For armadillo, do you use the decompressor?  That should be doing all the
cache cleaning already, prior to the kernel being entered.
