Well the code is unique to that cpu, with no real justification as to
why only ARM1176 needs it. Also it is buried in the relocation code,
which is now becoming generic, so to keep it around we would need to
re-implement ic C code something that seems like a hack. Finally, we
already have a way of turning on the caches and MMU in ARM now, so it
seems superfluous.

Simon
