What exactly does this mean?  Does it mean that

1) the hardware does not have working caches, so there is no chance to
   ever add such support in software?

2) the hardware does have working caches, but this current software
   support is simple / incomplete, and cache support will be added
   later?

3) ... ?

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
