flush_dcache_area() doesn't touch the I-cache... the hint is in the
name. :) This is also the function which is used for flush_dcache_page()
which we've already established isn't sufficient (for the same reason.)
Plus... we still would need to know the user address(es) to flush for
the I-cache side...

improving, and getting towards what was expected from it.
