Yes, the "GPU" has its own caches, entirely separate from the ARM core 
and at a different location in the system bus structure, and it seems as 
if at least some other peripherals other than GPU/graphics/VideoCore 
access DRAM via those caches too.

There are some brief details in BCM2835-ARM-Peripherals.pdf, although it 
isn't terribly clear.
