While looking at the manuals for the armv5 compatibility I stumbled
upon the following in Chapter 2.3.8. Are you sure your flush_dcache_all
implementation is correct? I suspect the above is flushing only one
line?

"The test, clean, and invalidate DCache instruction is the same as test
and clean DCache,
except that when the entire cache has been cleaned, it is invalidated.
This means that
you can use the following loop to clean and invalidate the entire
DCache:

tci_loop:     MRC p15, 0, r15, c7, c14, 3
              BNE tci_loop
"

Aneesh
