Is there a cacheable alias lying around (e.g. the linear map), or are these addresses only mapped uncached/wc? If there's a cacheable alias, performing an invalidate isn't sufficient, since a CPU can allocate a new (clean) entry at any point in time (e.g. as a result of prefetching or arbitrary speculation).
