[U-Boot] [PATCH v3 3/4] api: FreeBSD: flush cache before starting

From: Warner Losh <imp at freebsd.org>

FreeBSD loader(8) just loaded code to some random location that may
contain stale icache entries.
FreeBSD Kernel needs the icache and dcache flushed.
Before running either one of them, flush the icache and dcache.
