Actually, I believe we want to flush the vector page, at least on
systems with VIVT cache: on systems with VIVT cache, the vector page is
writeable in kernel mode, so may have been modified, and the address
used by elf_core_dump is not the vectors address, but the address in the
kernel direct-mapped RAM region where the vector page was allocated, so
there is a cache aliasing issue.
