Hmm, I am using kexec on Kirkwood (a Feroceon SOC) and haven't had any
problems with L2 coherency.. What exactly goes wrong here?

The only reason I could think of that this would make a difference is
if something along the boot path was turning on/off the L2? However if
you turn off the L2 then it needs to be invalidated before it is
turned on again. enable_l2 already does this properly..

Is the decompressor fiddling with the L2?
