Fixes performance related issue when running vxWorks 5/7 images.
The overall memory performance (L1, L2 cache and ram) was measured
with Bandwidth [0].
Without this patch we get following numbers:
- sequential 128-bit reads: ~5.2 GB/s
- sequential 128-bit copy: ~2.1 GB/s
- random 32-bit writes: ~1.2 GB/s
With this patch patch we get the following numbers:
- sequential 128-bit reads: ~18.0 GB/s
- sequential 128-bit copy: ~9.5 GB/s
- random 32-bit writes: ~5.0 GB/s

v1 -> v2:
- incorporate feedback from Bin Meng
