Yes, please.

And the function name is not perfectly fitting for my taste. Why not extract 2 
functions, flush_dcache_range() and invalidate_icache_range(). This reminds 
me that some architectures/platforms already have those functions defined 
(PPC4xx at least does). But the 2nd parameter is not size but end ("stolen" 
from the Linux kernel). Perhaps it makes sense to use these functions here as 
well.

Best regards,
Stefan
