PS: my standard appeal.  When you say you 'flush' a cache do you mean
invalidate, write-back, or both?  If (as I suspect) not all of you
mean the same thing, should you not instead speak of 'invalidate' and
'writeback'... sloppy language surely leads to sloppy programming?

I already had discussions with 68k people about this problem of
terminology.  It seems there is no unambigous terms for the whole
``cachology'' in the industry.
