Hi Ard,

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, /fuad
