; sys_icache_invalidate - invalidate instruction cache for an address range.
;       specific to the Power PC and Mac OS X (due to use of
;        __cpu_capabilities).

; The only reason to write this much assembler for this simple job is that
; some revisions of the Power PC processor had bugs in this area that require
; precise ordering and timing of the instructions that affect the cache.
; This isn't in the processor manuals, it's only in the errata sheets.

/* need this to write code that will assemble as dynamic or static */
#include <architecture/ppc/asm_help.h>
#undef  PICIFY_REG
#define PICIFY_REG r6

; Default to 32 bytes per cache line for the cases where  _cpu_capabilities
; is not yet set up.  This gives slower, but correct behaviour, even on
; processors with a different cache-line size.
