Yes, you've got it in one....  (Except that it can't matter for the
I-cache since it is impossible to write to it.)

What is more you can invalidate the page table entry and, if you
don't flush the cache, the cpu will still read the data from the cache.

The only thing I didn't work out was whether the access bits
are stored in the cache tag...
