the point of flushing caches is to make the memory coherent to other devices 
(like peripherals).  we don't differentiate between the cache levels.

things should be separated based on core and system levels.  the fact that a 
particular SoC is say armv4 doesn't mean it should have armv4 specific 
cache/mmu handling in its SoC subdir.  i think the Linux arm tree is properly 
separating things.
