Hello

What is the prefered way to flush caches from C code in the kernel? Is
there a routine to call in locore, or should I inline the necessary
instructions in asm? (and what are the necessary instructions?)

Why do you want to do this?

Other question: what is a cache sync operation? How is it different from
a flush?
