I'm glad this cache swapping mess is not necessary for mips32 chips. I imagine
that when the caches are swapped the instruction fetch will examine the D-cache
so it will not 'know' the instruction is in the I-cache. If the address is
present in both caches then the content should be the same. If the cache
routines have some self-modifying code then this really is asking for trouble.
