Hmm.. trying bootm with actual u-boot on a davinci (arm926ejs) based
board, there I couldn;t use the Davinci-EMAC (if I disable the dcache
it works ...)

Seems above commit introduced problems for other arm architectures,
drivers, ...

Hmm... if we globally always enable the dcache, we have a lot of more
drivers to fix (I think) ...

bye,
Heiko
