Right, will update the comment, thanks.

The CLFLUSHes happen when the kexec'ed kernel maps the VGA framebuffer
as unencrypted. Initially it is mapped encrypted and before re-mapping
the kernel flushes the range from the caches.
I have not investigated why this doesn't happen on the first boot,
though.

Joerg
