Hi Reinhard,

> The routine is called by the go() handler in the bootrom, that clears
> the cache from start of image to end of usable memory.
>  
> The POWERPC implementations only invalidates and disable the cache,
> the ARM implementations also flush it.
>  
>  U-boot will be on the save side, if it disables the data cache before
> calling vxWorks sysInit(int).

Then put this information in the commit log and resend your patch - I
don;t see why it should not be merged.

Thanks
