So this is a clean to the PoC followed by a I-cache invalidate to the
PoU, right? Perhaps we could improve the comment while at it (avoid
'flush', and mention that the code needs to be cleaned to the PoC and
invalidated from the I-cache for execution with the MMU off and
I-cache on)
Yes it is. The renaming I do later on in the series clarifies this,
but the comment should be fixed to match. I'll do that in v2.

Thanks,
