For icaches, a "flush" is just an invalidate, so this doesn't need
"clean".

This is one of the reasons for this patch. Although you are correct
when it comes to what the name __flush_icache_range implies, it wasn't
doing only that. It's flushing both I and D caches. Therefore, the new
naming scheme with the cache type as a prefix that you suggest below
should make that clearer.

Ah; sorry for the bad feedback, that all makes sense to me, then!

I look forward to v2. :)

Mark.
